CO had a plan that was shelved. My guess is the new CO /UA partnership makes these flights possible for UA . CO will focus more on Europe and South America and UA will expand into Africa and the ME as well as continue to focus on the Pacific and Asia.
Given UA 's close relationship with QR , shouldn't they also launch ORD -DOH (except they lack a suitable plane) ?
Good job on IAD -KWI- BAH , although i would question why BAH and not AUH (isn't AUH much more a booming town than BAH ?)
Good job on ORD - BRU too...finally someone to give AA a run for their money (if they still operate that route)

I know they are different markets, but UA already serves DXB , and AUH is only about 70 miles from there..

I have to give UA credit for going where the money is.... Africa has been a very rich market for DL ... UA found its way to the Arab middle east and is doing well there....
so much for the idea that it would be AA and CO that would fly there...
and CO and UA cannot share revenue on their respective flights.. joint ventures are not allowed between 2 US airlines. CO can...
Quoting Flyibaby ( Reply 228 ): The terminals have never prevented me from getting on a flight I was booked for. No, but with a comparable schedule and another connecting option, wouldn't you choose to avoid JFK ?
Quoting Pellegrine ( Reply 225 ): I think my suitcases (the hard sided Louis Vuitton ones) weigh 20 pounds empty. That would be your own fault. Quoting Pellegrine ( Reply 225 ): My record for a trunk is like 115 pounds, which most airlines won't accept, That would also be your own fault. Quoting Pellegrine ( Reply 225 ): I don't usually deal with these things though, I have someone to load and pack unpack at the destination. Then...
Quoting Sydscott ( Reply 196 ): Allow me to clarify so we can get back on topic - Nigeria didn't feel, or say, that DL 763 interiors were shoddy or second class. What they did say was that the Nigeria market deserved the best product AND the most modern airplane that Delta could offer. In DL 's case the best and the most modern is the 777. In UAL's case the 763 is their best even though it's not the most modern airplane....

Quoting LAXtoATL ( Reply 222 ): WTH? Please tell me you are exaggerating. Nope, welcome to my life (and you talk about fun? Think moving all that crap around ATL )
Quoting Transpac787 ( Reply 154 ): And, before you get all upset about the "dangerous" comment, DL transports their crews in armed escorts to and from the hotel. I'm not sure if it's still done, but previously DL crews have not been allowed to leave the LOS hotel while on layover. Mind you, that's not a simple suggestion, but policy that they DO NOT leave the hotel. Over-reaction to misinformation of how dangerous LOS...
Quoting Transpac787 ( Reply 154 ): Quoting I380North (Reply 152): Since you are so informed can you tell us which airline currently lands in LOS and send their crew to LCC. Random quizzes to test someone's credibility?? Quoting I380North (Reply 152): So while you are at it, is the layover in ACC based on safety or cost? Neither. I am attempted to call you out but I pass. Since there are two sets of flight crew, why could they take it all...
Quoting MAH4546 ( Reply 190 ): The problem wasn't that its a 767s, the problem was that Nigerian officials feel that Delta's 763 interiors are shoddy and second-class. Which they are not and that was the "problem" many on here had with the Nigerian governments decision.
Quoting A330243 ( Reply 64 ): If I were United, I would re-evaluate IAD - DME . DME was a very strong market two years ago, but the Russian economy has significantly cooled in the last year and yields have taken a hit. I still think the route makes long-term sense, so maybe they should try a cut to 4x weekly or something like that and retain the route to maintain market presense until the global economy gets better. UA has downgraded DME to...
