United Adds Nearly 150 Flights to Warm-Weather Cities

July 11, 2021,

Business should always be a priority over leisure, right? Got to make a living. Hopefully a great one.

What we mean to say is that we’ve seen so many movies where Person A is having a nice leisurely time with Person B and then you know what comes next.

That dreaded cell phone call.

Person A looks at Person B apologetically, kind of, and says, it is business call, I need to take this.

Person B understands because if they had Person A’s business prowess, they would be interrupting leisure with important business calls too.

Sound about right?

Well, maybe not.

Since the economy is starting to open up again, guess which travel is reigning supreme? Hint, it’s not business travel.

The team at marketplace.org educate, “For two days leading into this holiday weekend — Thursday and Friday — the number of passengers cleared through TSA airport-security checkpoints actually surpassed the totals back in 2019. But, one crucial piece of this travel recovery is still lagging. Business travel is still down as much as 50% from pre-pandemic levels.”

We will take post pandemic good news anyway that we can get it.

We are so happy that leisure travel is up. That gets our spirits up.

The informative group at dailyastorian.com add, “Amid widespread staffing shortages and national reports indicating the hotel industry is still struggling through the coronavirus pandemic, several hotel managers in Astoria say the tourism season started early in 2021 and looks to be on track for a record year driven by pent-up demand to travel.”

Wonderful.

The major news source, the Chicago Tribune adds, “United will have 30% more flights to the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America this winter compared with the same period in 2019.”

Apparently United Airlines has taken notice of this. It is time to load up the schedule and boom again.

Where did we place our suitcases?

CHICAGO, July 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As demand for travel continues to build, United Airlines is expecting the resurgence to continue for winter holiday travel and is planning ahead by increasing service to cities in the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. The airline will add nearly 150 flights to warm-weather destinations across the U.S and is increasing service to Latin beach and leisure markets by 30% compared to 2019.

"Celebrating the holidays with family and loved ones in 2020 was a challenge, and we know our customers are already eager to plan winter vacations and gatherings in person this year to make up for time that they lost," said Ankit Gupta, vice president of network planning at United. "As pandemic restrictions ease, people are becoming more confident in planning travel further in advance, so we want to make sure to offer our customers as much choice as possible."

Most of these additional flights will be operated with mainline aircraft featuring United First^SM, Economy Plus® and standard Economy seat options and complimentary snacks and onboard Wi-Fi. The additional U.S. flights include:

Up to 25 additional daily flights from New York/Newark to cities including Ft. Myers, Jacksonville and Savannah
