Ua To Add Additional N/s Cmh-den

[MiAAmi]

Sabre shows a new n/s CMH-DEN effective 31OCT for a total of 3 n/s to DEN. Are there any other schedule increases coming up?

Thanks for the heads-up MiAAmi! It's definitely great to see the CMH-DEN route get a third daily flight.

Any possibility this extra flight is added because HP pulled out of CMH and now the demand for Western USA travel is not being fully met at CMH. Cudios to UA for thier forward thinking.

Actually, I think it has more to do with the downsizing of American's STL hub. I'm sure America West's hub discontinuation has helped United, as well as most other carriers at CMH. Recently however, AA has been charging dirt-cheap air fares from Columbus to Denver through St. Louis. I know many people that have opted for the transfer in STL and the lower fare to get to DEN. Now with the pull-down at STL, those cheap connections are no longer available. Also, the UAL flight begins Oct. 31, the day before AA transitions 4 MD-80s on the CMH-STL run to ERJ-140s. At least that's my take on it.
