United adds new Asia Pacific flights
United Airlines is again ramping up Asia Pacific flights from October 2023.
In total, the airline will fly long-haul Asia Pacific flights to 15 different international destinations this winter.
Excluding mainland China, the airline says the transpacific network will be 50% larger than all other US airlines combined.
Notably, United becomes the first US airline to fly direct to Manila from the continental US.
It is adding more non-stops to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Taipei.
These new flights will start in October.
It builds on the continued growth following the largest South Pacific network expansion in aviation history that it announced recently.
“We are excited to bring this new service to Manila while expanding access to Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo,” said Patrick Quayle, SVP of global network planning.
Beginning October 29, United will fly between San Francisco and Manila.
The airline is already the only US carrier to serve Manila from Guam and Palau.
Additionally, starting October 28, United will launch new service between Los Angeles and Hong Kong, adding to its existing services from San Francisco.
United will resume non-stop flights between Los Angeles and Tokyo-Narita, joining existing Tokyo-Haneda flights.
The airline will also increase Taipei flights with a second daily year-round service from San Francisco.
Tickets are now available for sale on United.com and the United app.
