Anyone have any idea >why they are doing this? LHR is a minor hub for UA; my guess is that this is to improve their ability to deliver customers to Brussels, through London. Whether this is a reaction to Sabena or not, I couldn't say. As for why they chose flight numbers that are also used for LHR-SFO flights, I can't really say. Clearly they won't be using the same plane (the trans-Atlantic segments are 777s; the trans-Channel segments, as noted, are 763s). Maybe SFO has a relatively high population of Belgians?
