USA-based United Airlines is expanding its global route network, adding new non-stop flights between New York/Newark-Marrakesh, Morocco; Tokyo/Narita-Cebu, Philippines and Houston-Medellin, Colombia.

The carrier will also increase its flights to popular destinations across the globe including Hong Kong, Seoul in South Korea and Porto, Portugal. Additionally, the airline will add four weekly flights between Los Angeles and Shanghai as the Chinese and US governments recently agreed to increase flights between the two countries.

United now has the largest and most diversified international route network among US airlines, offering non-stop services to 134 international destinations across 67 countries - and it operates flights to more destinations across the Atlantic and Pacific than all other US carriers combined.

In addition to flying to the most popular international destinations, United has been a trailblazer in introducing its customers to off-the-beaten-path locales around the globe – including flights to nine destinations that no other carriers serve from the mainland US, like Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Christchurch, New Zealand; Dubrovnik, Croatia and more.

"We have consistently been ahead of the curve in finding hidden gem destinations for our customers to explore and remain committed to providing the most unique slate of travel options for their adventures abroad," said Patrick Quayle, United's senior vice president, Global Network Planning and Alliances.

United's 2024 international schedule

The airline is continuing to rebuild its mainland China schedule, with four weekly flights between Shanghai-Los Angeles using B787-9s starting August 29. Further, in late October, the Shanghai-Los Angeles will increase to daily service. This service complements United's daily service between San Francisco-Shanghai and San Francisco-Beijing. 

United is also adding more flights to Hong Kong and Seoul, South Korea. United will launch its second daily Los Angeles-Hong Kong flight using B787-9 aircraft on October 26, complementing its two existing daily flights to Hong Kong from San Francisco. The airline will also offer year-round, twice daily flights between San Francisco-Seoul, starting October 25. Additionally, United recently expanded its Tokyo service with a new route between Haneda and Guam, launching in May.

Across the Atlantic, United will add a second daily flight between New York/Newark-Porto, Portugal using B757-200s, starting May 23. 

Flights are subject to government approvals.
