Summer schedule looks like 4 flights using the 787: LHR FRA NRT and IAD. IAD has a 787 Base and the rest of the cities can be staffed with W pairings. It just depends on the commitment United is willing to make to the routes being full year and that airplane sticking on those routes. Right now, LHR is seasonal and could probably be served using a 763. NRT could go 777 like HNL. A lot of options for UA fleet utilization. If they decide to stick with the 787 in Denver, you might see something. I wouldn't take this announcement to the bank though.
Can a 763 do LHR out of DEN? Not guessing it has the performance in the summer.
