United Continues Transatlantic Leadership with Debut of 2023 Summer SchedulePhotos(1)
United to fly to more destinations across the Atlantic than all other U.S. carriers combined; adds new service to three cities - Malaga, Spain; Stockholm, Sweden; and Dubai, UAE – along with six more flights to popular European destinations
CHICAGO, Oct. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today continued its transatlantic leadership among U.S. carriers with the debut of the airline's 2023 summer schedule that includes adding new service to three cities – Malaga, Spain; Stockholm, Sweden; and Dubai, UAE – as well as six more flights to some of the most popular destinations in Europe, including Rome, Paris, Barcelona, London, Berlin, and Shannon. In total, United will fly to 37 cities in Europe, Africa, India and the Middle East next summer, more destinations than all other U.S. airlines combined.
United saw historic levels of demand for travel to Europe in the summer peak, up 20% compared to 2019, and is focused on developing its network to serve continued demand strength.
"Next summer United is offering the best of both worlds: we're making it easier for our customers to visit the most popular cities in Europe, but we're also expanding our reach to give travelers access to new places they haven't yet experienced," said Patrick Quayle, senior vice president of global network planning and alliances at United. "We expect another busy summer for international travel and are proud to build on our industry-leading global network to offer our customers the widest range of destinations and most convenient travel options."
Along with adding new flights, United will fly nine routes it added last summer, including direct flights between New York/Newark and Nice; Denver and Munich; Boston and London Heathrow; Chicago/O'Hare and Zurich; and Chicago/O'Hare and Milan, as well as flights to four destinations not served by any other North American airline, including Amman, Jordan; Azores, Portugal; Palma de Mallorca, Spain and Tenerife, Spain.
Tickets for United's new summer 2023 flights are on sale now at United.com and include:
New York/Newark – Malaga, Spain*
United is adding a fifth Spanish destination to its global network with new direct flights between New York/Newark and Malaga. Starting May 31, travelers will be able to explore Spain's Mediterranean coast with three flights per week to Malaga on a Boeing 757-200. United flies to more destinations in Spain than any other U.S. airline and next summer will offer direct flights to three Spanish cities that no other U.S. airline serves: Malaga, Tenerife and Palma de Mallorca.
New York/Newark – Dubai, UAE*
As part of its historic commercial agreement with Emirates, United will launch direct, daily flights between New York/Newark and Dubai on a Boeing 777-200ER starting March 25. From there, customers can travel on Emirates or its sister airline flydubai to more than 100 different cities, giving customers more options to connect over the Middle East than ever before. United will be the only U.S. airline to offer non-stop flights to Dubai from the U.S. and flies to more destinations in the Middle East and India than any other U.S. airline.
New York/Newark – Stockholm, Sweden*
On May 27, United will return to Stockholm for the first time since 2019 with service from New/York Newark.

San Francisco – Rome, Italy*
United broadens its industry-leading European network from San Francisco with daily flights to Rome launching on May 25 on a Boeing 777-200ER. United is the only U.S. airline to offer direct flights to Europe from its hub in San Francisco, and next summer will offer non-stop flights to seven popular European cities.

Chicago/O'Hare – Shannon, Ireland*
Beginning May 25, United will add more seasonal flights to Shannon, Ireland with new daily flights from Chicago O'Hare – giving customers more options to explore some of the country's most scenic destinations including Limerick and Galway. United is the only U.S. carrier to offer direct flights to Shannon with its existing seasonal service from New York/Newark, and also offers direct flights to Dublin from Chicago, New York/Newark and Washington Dulles. United will fly a Boeing 757-200 on this route.
Washington Dulles – Berlin, Germany*
United will begin capital-to-capital service between Washington, D.C. and Berlin, Germany on May 25. United will be the only carrier to offer non-stop flights between these cities with daily flights on a Boeing 767-400ER. United offers more flights to Berlin from the U.S. than any other airline, with existing year-round flights from Newark.
Chicago/O'Hare – Barcelona, Spain*
United continues to expand its best-in-class European network from Chicago next summer with new direct, daily flights to Barcelona on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, starting May 25. Next summer, United will fly to 14 destinations in Europe from Chicago, more than any other airline.

This new flight builds upon United's recent London expansion, with additional flights from Newark, San Francisco, and Denver, as well as new flights from Boston.
United is also adding more options for travel between Washington Dulles and Paris Charles de Gaulle with a second daily flight launching June 2, operated by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. United currently offers year-round flights to Paris from New York/Newark, Washington Dulles, Chicago and San Francisco.

The spacing is considerably more generous on the 772 due to the wider cabin. Not just the width of the seat, but the overall spacing, which impacts things like the access to your seat.

I very much doubt that Aeroflot had 70 flights per week. I live under the flight path and didn't often see Aeroflot planes overhead. I would guess max 2 flights per day. However, now that "use it or lose it" has returned, clearly Aeroflot will lose its slots for the next summer season. I'm surprised that they haven't come to some form of arrangement with their SkyTeam partners to repurpose them (despite sanctions) but perhaps LHR didn't permit that (they normally would). BA normally is the buyer who sweeps up spare spots, but they are having to fill the slots they used to use for their Asian and Russian flights so perhaps unusually they were a low bidder.

Overall, it still surprises how UA "avoids" VIE.
Most definitely, while allowing LH up to 21 weekly flights .
with LAX-FRA being the most obvious.
Per earnings call last week, TPAC schedule is about to reach 89% of pre-Covid - excluding China.
Here’s a link to an article on One Mile at a Time that speculated about new routes: based on some detective work.
I think LAX/FRA is long overdue.

If ever, when was the last time that UA had scheduled commercial service to VIE?
A lot of the major destinations served within Europe by OS from VIE have service from a LH hub; and so maybe because of that UA doesn’t really see the point of flying its own flights to VIE.
Given UA’s revenue-sharing TATL JV, can’t say I’m surprised that “UA ‘avoids’ VIE”.

Yikes! That's not good! Those passengers is not going like it. They have to be earlier flight. The flight is departing at 8pm instead of 11pm. They will be very tired. So please no 11pm flight to TLV.
I believe you see Hawaiian Air. They will fly nonstop flight HNL-LHR on an B787-9 Dreamliner.
Unfortunately not, they don't have enough range. The range is 6,000 miles on an A330-900neo. So no fly FRA-HNL nonstop. They didn't orders A330-800neo. The range is more than 8,000 miles.
