..very nice...unfortunately I will be busy today at that time and won't have time to check VS out..
That being said, I flew VS ORD-LHR-ORD back in 2001 on their B742's and had to be one of the worst services I've ever had.. ....
What's interesting is UA is going from 3x/777 to 2x/763 & 1x/777...looks like VS might start taking advantage of this, though I expect both AA and BA to take advantage of this also...

UA is just adjusting. There is really no additional traffic to take advantage of. With the addition of DEN-LHR service connecting traffic the formerly flowed over ORD now flows over DEN.

I'm not so sure on that....UA has "adjusted" other routes too..such as JFK-LHR also.
Chicago-London is one of the most traveled routes in the world with New York, Dubai and maybe one or two more city-pairs more heavily traveled.
AFAIK, Pax numbers aren't declining on this route pair either.
I agree that DEN-LHR will take some of the "connecting traffic", but I do not believe it is a large.
The fact VS started with an A343 and now has scaled up a few times (I've seen VS A346's in ORD also) just might be indicative of the situation.

I looked out the window tonight and saw the 747 rolling down the ramp.
I wondered when they switched from the Airbus.
They sure have a nice livery.
