United revises flight times for Chicago Bears fans
United Airlines launched a first-of-its kind adjusted flight schedule for Chicago Bears fans.
For the first time ever, the airline is revising departure times of six flights so fans have the option to fly home the same night after away games.
United is also flying larger planes on two routes and adding an additional nonstop flight between O’Hare and London’s Heathrow Airport for the Week 6 Bears/Jaguars game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This gives fans four nonstop flight options to get to London.
More than 76,000 Bears fans traveled to away games during the 2023-24 season.
“As Chicago’s Hometown Airline and long-standing sponsor of the Chicago Bears, we’re proud to show our support this season with this special schedule for fans,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s SVP of Global Network Planning.
“Our enhanced schedule gives customers options no other carrier is providing.”
United operates more than 500 daily departures from Chicago O’Hare with nonstop service to 148 cities in the US.
There are nonstop flights to more than 40 international destinations.
United has been the official airline of the Chicago Bears for more than 50 years, flying the team to more than 350 games.
They consistently partner for community engagements in the Chicago area.
United is retiming return flights to Chicago for seven games allowing fans to fly home on game night, or early the next morning.
These include from Houston, Indianapolis, Phoenix and Detroit.
The airline plans to fly larger planes between Chicago O’Hare and Reagan National Airport on October 27 as well as to Green Bay, WI when the game date is announced.
