Why route reductions? United is growing and has the aircraft on property and on order to do so.

United plans the EWR service for just three summer months. It's not even worth reporting, imho.

I’d just like to layover there for the pizza! Will probably go really senior, I imagine.

Glad UA will finally offer service to PRG on our own metal but why is this seasonal service starting so late (June 6th)? The addition of seasonal service to NAP is a great addition as well.

UA has grown their Italian presence in the last 3 years. Going from 1x IAD-FCO and 1x EWR-MXP to adding FCO-ORD and EWR, along with EWR- VCE. I'm a bit surprised they don't do a second service in summer to MXP from ORD or IAD.

Naples is hardly boring, though it has a lot of rough edges. It is a major cruise port, a gateway to the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sorrento, and Pompeii, and Naples Airport is the fastest growing airport in Italy and very well served and connected to all of Europe by legacy and LCC's.

Yes we will get downtown hotels.

Not exactly correct. CO served MXP and FCO from EWR for a long time. UA did not "add" EWR-FCO. It inherited the route from CO and turned it to a seasonal one for a time (CO also went seasonal on and off) and resumed year round with reduced frequency in the winter once NAX entered the market. FCO-ORD was in place and has not been a recent add. UA has flown it for years. EWR-VCE was added a few years ago.
