0 Comments

United Airlines has confirmed that it will fly to 114 different international cities this summer, expanding flights by 25% compared to last year to meet the sharp increase in demand for travel outside of the USA.

According to United booking data, international bookings in March were 15% higher than the same month in 2022.

Highlights of United's 2023 summer schedule include:

  • New service to Malaga, Dubai and Stockholm;

  • Additional flights to Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Shannon, Edinburgh and Naples;

  • Almost two dozen daily flights to London Heathrow;

  • Service to Amman, the Azores, Palma de Mallorca and Tenerife;

  • Expanded service to Australia, serving Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane;

  • 10 daily transpacific flights to Tokyo-Haneda, Tokyo-Narita and Osaka;

  • Twice-daily flights to Seoul, South Korea from San Francisco; and

  • Service to Hong Kong from San Francisco.

"United will give travelers more options than ever before this summer – especially if they want to fly internationally," said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances. "With unprecedented demand for travel overseas, we'll have more service to popular cities while also adding new and unique destinations for customers to explore."

Asia Pacific Expansion

This summer, United will serve 27 destinations across the Pacific. Excluding Mainland China and Hong Kong, United's capacity across the Pacific will exceed 2019 levels by more than 15% this summer. The airline recently resumed pre-pandemic service between Denver-Tokyo/Narita and San Francisco-Hong Kong, and added new service to Tokyo/Haneda from Washington Dulles and Los Angeles.

United will also have an expanded schedule between Australia and the U.S., including non-stop routes to Australia's three largest cities – Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
