United Airlines International Expansion

When an airline announces they are adding new routes, it is always a good day. When that announcement is that they are expanding international routes, it is a great day. If it so happens to coincide with their largest international expansion in the airline's history, it is a magnificent day! That is exactly what we have with this United Airlines international expansion news that came out yesterday. Let's take a look at the routes they will be adding in the not so distant future, starting May of 2025. This is all pending government approval of course.

United Airlines International Expansion: ToP Thoughts

As a lover off all things Italy, the two routes to Venice and Sicily stand out to me. I know Portugal has been a hot travel ticket since covid, so I am sure those will be popular routes. It could be a good way to hop a flight to the Azores as well. There are a few unexpected additions like Greenland and Sengal, but they are underserved areas so I think this is great news.
