Would be very nice indeed ! That would make 4 777's a day at BRU :D

Well that's a nice surprise and again good news for BRU!
I would have though that UA would deploy this B777 to destinations in Asia or in the Middle East where traffic is booming.
Those B777s are also offering the Economy Plus product, which I highly recommend especially for the additional legroom it provides.
This will come as a nice replacement of the B777 operated by CO as this plane will be redeployed for their new route EWR-BOM starting October 31st.

Did a search on United.com, and unfortunately there will only be 777's until the end of the summer schedule. Starting the winter schedule the 763's will be back.

Perhaps it has to do with the installation of the new First and Business class seats, which will start in the 4th quarter of 2007. The first aircraft which will be reconfigured are the 767-300's, so maybe 777's will be used to fill the gap during (part of) that process.

I hope they will keep the 777 on the route :!:

Hello

That's increadebly news! Now after CO already did an upgrade to 777 , United Follows! Really nice if this one would be also permanent.
Than it's only Delta who needs to follow, I would be very glad to see a DL 772 at BRU too :P

Best regards: Yannick ;)
