There’s no place like the Sunshine State to wash away the winter blues – and since it’s such a popular winter destination, United Airlines will be adding more flights to Florida.
The airline has recently announced that it will significantly increase the number of flights to Florida this winter. This will be the largest number of flights offered by the airline in its history, with a nearly 20% growth compared to last year’s winter schedule. Additionally, the airline will use larger planes with more seats to accommodate more passengers.
Starting on Nov. 28, the airline will fly Boeing 737-700 aircraft to Key West International Airport (EYW) for the first time in the company’s history.
“With demand for travel to Florida this winter up significantly compared to last year, United is flying larger aircraft that give customers more options on how they choose to fly with the airline,” the airline announced on its website.
“We know that November is when most people start their winter travel planning, so we’re adding these flights to give customers more options than ever,” said Mark Weithofer, United’s Managing Director of Domestic Network Planning. “We’ve already begun to see record-breaking demand for winter travel and whether customers are looking to unwind on the beach or hit the slopes, United is the clear choice for those planning their getaways.”
