Still blows my mind that LAX-ICN isn't on the table. There has to be enough O&D to support a daily 788 without sabotaging DFW-ICN.
Jump to postAlso, why would they pull the A380 from Jfk and put it back on LAX-NRT when: 1). They’ve already cancelled the A380 from NRT-LAX-NRT not that long ago. 2). the premium passengers that would pay for F/Suites want HND and there’s now several new LAX-HND flights coming. The A380 was only pulled from L...

Jump to postNot sure if this has already been reported, but LA increased LAX-SCL to daily and JFK-SCL to 10 weekly.

It'd be nice to see UA preempt VN's entry into SGN-LAX/SFO. SoCal definitely has a large enough Vietnamese population to warrant its own flight, while a flight to SFO can rely on its connections and the Vietnamese community in the South Bay.

Or they could opt to serve it nonstop from either Los Angeles or Seattle with their new A350 aircraft. LAX or SEA-to-SIN with little feed on one end and no feed on the other?
