I was just thinking this last night. Nigeria is a country with such major oil ties and an exploding population that Continental (or United now) should definitely connect it with IAH. Could the new airline add more Brazilian destinations? Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Recife, and Salvador are all major cities and most of them are only served by American via Miami. You'd think with the giant new United network that IAH could fly to some of these destinations and compete with American. Are there any other routes that may or probably be added, besides Madrid, Brussels, Munich, Lagos, Guam, Dubai, and Rome/Milan (unlikely, but there was mention before)?
