After a few back-to-back years of splashy press releases<\/a> and cocktail parties, United Airlines is out with its hotly anticipated transatlantic network announcement for next summer.<\/p>\n

This year, however, the Chicago-based carrier is largely resting on its laurels as the biggest U.S. airline across the Atlantic. United is adding<\/a> just one all-new destination and boosting frequencies on just three routes.<\/p>\n

United’s making a few more tweaks to its network, so read on for all the details.<\/p>\n

Newark to Faro, Portugal<\/h2>\n

The most exciting part of United’s announcement is an all-new service to Faro, Portugal.<\/p>\n

When service starts on May 24, 2024, United will become the only airline connecting the U.S. to Portugal’s Algarve region<\/a> with nonstop flights.<\/p>\n

The flight will operate four times a week on a Boeing 757-200 aircraft, which feature 16 Polaris business-class pods in an uncompetitive 2-2 configuration, as well as 42 extra-legroom Economy Plus seats and 118 economy seats.<\/p>\n
