United Airlines adds new flights to Croatia, Greece and Iceland

Saturday, 20 Apr, 2021 0

United Airlines is adding three new transatlantic flights, giving travellers more options for summer travel as countries start to reopen to vaccinated visitors.

Starting in July 2021, United will offer new direct flights between Newark Liberty International Airport and Dubrovnik, Croatia, between Washington Dulles International Airport and Athens, Greece and between Chicago O’Hare International Airport and Reykjavik, Iceland, which are all subject to government approvals.

United says flight searches for Croatia, Greece and Iceland are up 61%.

"As countries around the world begin the process of reopening, leisure travellers are eager to take a long-awaited getaway to new international destinations," said Patrick Quayle, vice president of international network and alliances.

United plans to add the only nonstop service between the US and Croatia on 8 July with services between Dubrovnik and Newark.

The airline will operate three weekly flights until 3 October on a Boeing 767-300ER with 30 United Polaris business class seats.

United will expand its service to Athens with daily flights from Washington Dulles beginning 1 July through 4 October 2021.

This new route marks the first time daily nonstop flights have been available between Washington DC and Athens.

United is also expanding its service to Iceland with the first US carrier service from Chicago to Reykjavik, beginning 2 July 2021 which runs daily until 4 October 2021.
