Direct flights to Rome
Does UA have any direct flights from the USA to Rome? The route map shows a direct flight from Dulles but when I tried to book online, there was no direct flight offered.

Anytime I've flown direct to Rome, it's EWR-FCO. But I've only traveled there in summer. Could be seasonal? I remember this going back to Continental days on a DC10. It's been a couple years since I've been back, so things probably have changed.

UA offers seasonal service to FCO from EWR, IAD, and ORD. When were you trying to book the flight for? Depending on the month, the flight may not be operating.

FCO is a highly seasonal market, and daily service from three hubs (ORD/IAD/EWR) is only offered during the summer. In the shoulder seasons, service may be less than daily, and there is no UAL metal service to FCO during the winter.

The IAD-FCO service is seasonal (summer only). It ended about a week after Labor Day. I flew to Rome over Thanksgiving. I flew IAD-MUC-FCO and had no problems whatsoever. I try to avoid FRA whenever possible.

The season for the EWR-FCO nonstop is from late March until late October. There is an EWR-MXP nonstop that runs year round and Rome can be reached in about 3 hours by high-speed train from Milan. Alternatively there are many flights from the US to MUC, ZRH, BRU, VIE, and FRA on UA or *A partners with easy connections to FCO.
