Not even really pre-Covid. I think it was every now and then in the summer, but not really a regular service.

At least SAN gets cool traffic

787s, A340s, A330s, A350 (occasionally), 752/3, 763/4.

I think DEN could do quite well as a long haul airport but all the airlines say “Let’s make them all connect through LAX and SFO, because screw Colorado.”

This may have something to do with Qatar Airways, since they recently began service to SEA and both airlines are Oneworld alliance members?

I think it’s because there was no competition at SEA (only DL had a few flights)

I think AA will no longer be the biggest airline at LAX anymore

They are still keeping their AUS and NZ flights at LAX

I know that those cities have high populations, LA is second in the nation. But SF isn’t much bigger than Denver (only a 200k metro difference). The least UA could do is give us some of what they have.

True. They don’t really have UA to compete with them at SEA on such a large scale compared to LAX so…

Yeah, and DL and AA had the most share of Asia at LAX (for US carriers), now UA is expanding their Asia market at LAX

I think the issue is location and population
If Denver was like Chicago you’d have more traffic
