Re: Omaha Eppley Airfield

Goes back to their placeholder schedule end of September right now but I would guess they will change it too ...

I fly to SF often. I have booked the direct multiple times on United only to have it changed to connecting in Denver as the flight gets closer. So I have a direct SF to Omaha on Sept 6. It still shows direct! Hopefully I did not just jinx it.
