United Extends Direct New York/Newark – Athens Flights to November 28

United Airlines recently announced the extension of its daily nonstop seasonal service from New York/Newark to Athens International Airport (AIA) in Greece, until November 28.

“With transatlantic demand remaining at a historic high, United is extending some of its most popular seasonal routes to give customers more time to explore,” the airline said in an announcement.

This winter, United customers can take advantage of the following additional nonstop flights:

– New York/Newark – Athens, Greece: extended through November 28
– Washington-Dulles – Barcelona, Spain: extended through December 13
– Washington-Dulles – Rome, Italy: extended through January 8
– Second daily New York/Newark – Paris, France: extended through January 8

In total, United will fly to 25 destinations across the Atlantic this winter and will be the only US carrier to offer year-round, non-stop service to Dubai, Geneva, Edinburgh, Berlin and Amman.

Earlier this month, United launched its international winter schedule with 50 additional daily flights compared to last winter, and has become the first American carrier to fly direct from the continental US to Manila, Philippines and will be the only carrier to fly between the US and Christchurch, New Zealand, starting this December.

United is also the first US airline to return to Beijing when service from San Francisco resumed on November 9. In total, the airline will fly to more than 110 international destinations and grow its schedule by more than 25 percent versus last year, the largest winter expansion in its history.
