The stateside services are expected to begin in August and will see United's first two 787-9s avis rent a car coupons flitting between Denver, Houston and Los Angeles, United avis rent a car coupons Airlines exec Matt Miller tells Australian Business Traveller .
"We will take delivery of both 787-9s in summer, we actually get the first on in July, and we'll be flying them domestically before we launch (Melbourne-Los Angeles) at the end of October " explains Miller, UA's Managing Director for Japan and Pacific Sales.
"For certification it's really just a variant of the 787-8, which we are very comfortable with we've already taken delivery of nine 'dash 8s' so as soon as we take delivery of those aircraft we can start using them immediately."
Miller says the 787-9 flights will operate as scheduled services rather than 'surprise and delight' flights, "similar to what we did with the 787-8... our domestic customers will certainly look for them and will want to fly them ."
"You will probably see them flying hub to hub in the US, between Houston, Denver and LA, you will see them moving around our system" Miller confirmed to Australian Business Traveller , adding that the flights will include "some training elements for both the ground staff and flight crew."
"The network team and operations team will decide if and when we need to fly those internationally" Miller suggests. "They will probably go to an existing 787 market because those destinations are used to handling the 787."
