United Airlines to add more international flights

CHICAGO - United Airlines Friday said it plans to resume service on nearly 30 international routes in November, including flights to cities in Asia, Europe and South America. Additionally, the airline continues to strategically rebuild its domestic and international network by offering customers service to popular leisure destinations in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Central America and Mexico.

Even with these flight additions, United's November schedule is still less than half of what it was this time last year.

The airline plans to fly 44% of its schedule in November compared to 2019. "For the month of November, we have adjusted our capacity to add flying for leisure travel to warm weather and beach destinations in Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean, along with 'visiting friends and relatives' travel across the globe," said Patrick Quayle, United's vice president of International Network and Alliances. "We're also pleased to announce that beginning this weekend, customers can purchase tickets for United's new nonstop flights between Chicago and New Delhi, New York/Newark and Johannesburg, and between San Francisco and Bangalore."
