United Airlines Unveils Record-Breaking Transatlantic Summer Schedule for 2024
Chicago, IL – United Airlines is set to make summer 2024 an unforgettable season for travelers with the announcement of its largest transatlantic schedule ever. The airline is expanding its horizons with new non-stop flights, including the only direct service between the U.S. and Faro, Portugal, and additional routes to sought-after European destinations.
United's Transatlantic Expansion: A Gateway to Europe's Treasures
Starting in summer 2024, United will offer non-stop flights to 38 cities across the Atlantic, providing unparalleled access to some of Europe's most iconic locations. The airline's expansion includes the debut of the sole direct flight from New York/Newark to Faro, Portugal, and new services to Reykjavik, Brussels, Rome, and Malaga. This move not only enhances United's already robust network but also solidifies its position as the U.S. carrier with the most transatlantic destinations.
Early Bird Gets the European Adventure
In a strategic move to cater to the increasing demand for spring travel, United is launching nine of its seasonal routes up to two months earlier. This early start allows travelers more flexibility and time to explore the vibrant cultures of Portugal, Italy, France, and Spain. Patrick Quayle, United's senior vice president of global network planning and alliances, highlights the airline's commitment to offering customers "more flexibility and choice when planning their trips abroad."
New Routes to Discover
- Faro, Portugal: Starting May 24, United will connect travelers directly to the Algarve region's stunning beaches and historical sites with flights operating four times a week on a Boeing 757-200.
- Reykjavik, Iceland: Resuming seasonal flights from New York/Newark for the first time since summer 2022, the daily service on a Boeing 757-200 begins May 23.

Spring into Europe Sooner
United is responding to the trend of spring shoulder season travel by resuming several popular routes earlier, including services from Washington Dulles to Lisbon, Barcelona, and Rome starting February 15, and from New York/Newark to Nice, Milan, Naples, and Malaga, as well as from Chicago/O'Hare and San Francisco to Rome, all starting between March 30 and May 2.
