The airport posted a video on social media as well:

They a little bit like mini SF BART cars to me, which I guess makes sense considering it's the same manufacturer.
Any update on N898UA? Supposedly the wing clipped another aircraft while parking at SFO on Thursday night. I didn't see any pictures or video circulating showing the damage. I didn't see any tail no. of the other aircraft involved.
Jump to postWhy change aircraft type for the first day only? And why announce a route with less than three months’ lead time when clearly they’ve been planning this route for a while? Such strange choices from an airline.
Jump to postWait, the new A gates are at ground level? Why? Who's bright bureaucratic idea was that? It was Frontier Airlines's idea. Nothing bureaucratic (or particularly bright) about it. But these were built for United Express use couple years ago. When I heard if F9s 'new' A gates, I thought they were actu...
Jump to postIt has not been discussed for a while, Frontier will start to move into their "new" ground load facility starting in March. They will start with just two gates and will ramp up over the year until they reach 14 gates just before winter. As they move their existing gates will start the con...
Jump to postQuestion: I sometimes see UA planes parked at the D gates at SFO terminal 2. Are these United's gates or are they common use? I thought Alaska had most of the D gates at terminal 2 (with Breeze using one occasionally). That would be overflow parking for UA. That’s not just overflow parking. UA now ...
Jump to postDid SN drop IAD? They only mention JFK in the article. I’ve wondered if SN might launch ORD next. ORD-BRU seems to be a successful flight for UA, just by daily service and with aircraft type, 781 year round. I don’t have any data because I’m too lazy to look it up but with this news maybe they will...
Jump to postUnited are converting more Pratt 772ER's to domestic? What? I thought it was only the first four and that's all. While domestic first class (basically international premium economy) isn't a bad option, I don't know how many leisure travelers will pay extra for that, especially since there would be ...

Jump to postI could maybe see some kind of future 772 HD or low-J configuration that's just 32 Polaris J seats between doors 1 and 2 and then all coach aft of door 2. They could probably fit at least 330 seats on a configuration like that. That would probably be okay for hub-hub and Hawaii, but probably not int...
Jump to postUnited tells Boeing to stop making the Max 10s the airline ordered: report - Fox Business "We’ve asked Boeing to stop building Max 10s, which they’ve done, for us and start building Max 9s," Kirby said Tuesday at a JPMorgan investor conference, according to Bloomberg. "It’s impossibl...
Jump to postI don't think UA is just posturing about Boeing. United and Boeing have been in lockstep for so long. UA executives never even went so far as to publicly criticize Boeing during the first MAX grounding. That they're doing it now and are describing it as "the straw that broke the camel's back&qu...
Jump to postI don't think it's a coincidence that the legacies all merged into three airlines that all have a big presence in New York and Los Angeles. If an airline is going to compete nationally and be relevant on a national scale, then it's going to need to have a sizable presence in NYC. UA must have known ...
Jump to postThe 2001 FRA flight on UA metal and the attempts at LHR in 2008, 2010, and 2011 were on 772s. Aside from the performance challenges as described above, the configuration of the plane back then was probably not ideal. Those 777s were 3-cabin planes with international F, lots more business seats, and ...
Jump to postHas anyone taken pics on the NEXT interior on N36447, a 2012 built 737-900ER?

Jump to postI'm shocked. Were they going to be on a different assembly line, or is Boeing still producing planes for UA that it can't deliver? I just assumed with all the unknowns with the Max10, UA would convert 10 orders for 8/9's, and once it's certified, they can just swap future 8/9 orders back to 10's. W...

Do we still have any idea who's moving into T2? WN, F9, more UA? I feel like I haven't really heard anything that seemed confirmed.

There's also other BA routes to the Americas, plus B6, TS, N0, BY, WS, etc, on TATL ex-LGW. LGW has been associated with lower fares and I doubt many premium ...
Jump to postUA will not return to DAL. UA is clearly not very interested in secondary airports. They don’t serve HOU, OAK, MDW. The only cities I can think of where UA serves multiple airports are NY (EWR, LGA) and LA (LAX, SNA, BUR, ONT). In 2019, then-president Scott Kirby gave an interview to SFGate in whic...
Jump to postI'm looking up a work trip NYC - San Diego for early May and the United option (UA 1891 on a 757-200) is coming up on the booking platform as having a tech stop?

Jump to postRegarding a South hub - hubs are for connections as well as non-stops. FL hubs should have Carribean and SA routes. A Florida hub to some extent could flow some IAH connection traffic. South Florida hub wouldn't pull much traffic from ATL as connections to SE wouldn't work. TPA seems too far south ...
Jump to postDo we really think that AF and/KL will do that this year? AF is starting seasonal service earlier this year (Mar 31st). If DIA offered revenue guarantees for winter service, it would work. STL has successfully used revenue guarantees for year-round service from LH. I'm not aware of any meaningful b...
Jump to postThe people of Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, et al have long fought against any kind of commercial service at APA. There was a big legal fight over it in the 90s.

Jump to postHaving moved here about 2 years ago, DIA is the one thing that I really can't stand about this city. I'd love for JSX to fly to APA.

Jump to postWhat airlines have had scheduled service to DEN on 747s? I know United, British Airways, and Korean Air. Any others? Lufthansa. They started DEN-FRA on an A340-300, but then switched up to a 747 in the summer in the mid-2000s. That stopped when LH briefly flew DEN-MUC around 2007-2008. The 747 came...
Jump to postI'd imagine Avelo and the DL mainline additions this summer have made gate space at the times that connect to hubs much harder to come by. Even DEN is only 1x. Daily right now. DEN-BUR is a good example of how UA is upgauging across the network – until maybe a year or two ago, it used to be 2x on a...
Jump to postI wonder if UA has considered additional adds from BUR? Particularly IAH and EWR - everything I've heard (and seen personally) suggests that JFK-BUR does very well for B6 (IIRC they've done 2x daily on that route in addition to BOS during the summer). UA themselves seem to be doing very well on EWR...
Jump to postUnited's big 133-acre land purchase near DEN might not scare some people here, but it has scared the Chicago Tribune editorial board enough to issue a pretty bold op-ed.

Jump to postDoes anyone have any new information on old concourse renovations?

Jump to postI'm pretty familiar with the OAK connector. It's not a bad system. Not unlike the EWR AirTrain, it also connects the airport to a just-far-enough-away commuter rail stop a few miles away.
