United Airlines is flying its largest winter schedule in company history with an average of nearly 4,600 flights every day during peak season.
The airline will add flights at more than 140 US airports including new flights to some of the most popular ski and sun destinations.
The airline is indeed forecasting its busiest winter season ever and is seeing growing demand for international travel to Latin America and across the Atlantic.
“Whether that’s adventuring somewhere new overseas, unwinding with some sun or enjoying the best ski towns in the country, we’re pleased to offer easy access to the top destinations for winter getaways.” Quayle said.
