So, I just read United Airlines is doing a big expansion of their transatlantic flights for summer 2026. They're adding some new nonstop routes from Newark to places like Split, Bari, Glasgow, and Santiago de Compostela. Seems like United's really doubling down on their European network.
Pretty cool they're flying to some less traditional destinations. I mean, Split and Bari aren't your usual suspects when you think of big European airports. I guess it gives travelers more options to explore different parts of Europe.
Personally, I think this could be a smart move. More destinations could mean more customers, right? Plus, it's always nice to have more direct flight options.
I wonder how this'll affect the competition with other airlines. Like, will we see more U.S. carriers trying to expand their Europe routes? Or maybe even see some price wars?
Also, has anyone been to any of these new destinations? Would love to hear if they're worth checking out.
What do you all think about United's new routes? Good move or too much too fast?
