United Airlines will become the first airline to fly nonstop from the nation’s capital to South Africa.

The U.S. Department of Transportation granted the airline three weekly direct flights between Washington D.C. and Cape Town, which start on November 17, 2022

Tickets are on sale now.

United started seasonal service from New York/Newark to Cape Town in 2019 and expanded to year-round service in 2022.

United will soon offer a total of 19 weekly flights to Africa

The airline launched nonstop flights from New York/Newark to Johannesburg and Washington D.C. to Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria in 2021.

United’s new flights will connect Cape Town to 55 US cities.

The flights will also allow customers to connect in Cape Town to other points in South Africa, and to other countries in the African southern region with partner Airlink at their Cape Town hub.

United will fly a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft on this new route, with 48 lie-flat, United Polaris business class seats, 21 United Premium Plus seats and 188 economy seats.
