Early Access to Seasonal Service

In fact, last spring, United flew 33% more passengers across the Atlantic than in 2022. The airline anticipates this demand will continue to soar in spring 2024.
To cater to this burgeoning demand, United Airlines is resuming several of its most popular routes early.
This means you can start planning your European adventure sooner, offering you even more time and flexibility to explore the Old Continent.
