United Airlines will offer more than 100 new flights to cities in the U.S. and Canada this summer, making it easier for travelers to connect to some of the most picturesque destinations in North America, including Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska, and cities in Canada such as Calgary, Halifax, and Vancouver.
During the pandemic, the airline saw an increased demand from travelers wanting to get outdoors and explore scenic destinations, such as national parks and mountain towns. United expects the trend to continue this year and, since the past decade, is flying its largest schedule to Alaska and significantly expanding flying between the U.S. and Canada.
This summer, United will also have nearly 70 daily flights to national park destinations including Bozeman and Kalispell, Montana, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
“We know people want to get outdoors this summer, and United is making it easier than ever to get to destinations across North America,” says Patrick Quayle, United’s senior vice president of Network Planning and Alliances. “From adding nonstop service to places previously only reachable through multiple connections to leveraging our relationships with airline partners like Air Canada, we’re giving customers lots of options to unlock new experiences.”
