United now has direct flight from DC to Rio

[infohunter]

Evidently this happened back in May.... I found out from a friend who just went to Rio and told me about it. Unknown to me United had changed my direct (1-stop) flight to Rio to this new flight. Okay they tried emailing me in May about this but the email had bounced. Anyway so excited that they did! YIPPEE!

United's new seasonal, non-stop service between Washington, D.C., and Rio de Janeiro strengthens Washington Dulles as the carrier's international gateway on the East Coast and improves United's current service to Rio by making it nonstop from previous one-stop service.
