In addition to their expansion to Tokyo, United Airlines revealed an updated international schedule from its hubs in Chicago, Denver, New York/Newark and San Francisco.

Travelers flying United will be able to choose from new services to Palermo, Italy; Nice, France; and Curaçao. The airline also expanded routes to numerous European destinations including Amsterdam; London; Frankfurt, Germany; and Zurich, Switzerland and will also include summer service to Barcelona, Spain; Porto, Portugal; Athens, Greece; and Naples, Italy.

"United's global network is a tremendous source of pride for our employees and loyal customers," said United’s International Network Vice President, Patrick Quayle. "We're always looking for ways to grow and expand our network to connect our customers to more destinations around the world."

New service to Curaçao comes just in time for travelers to escape the upcoming winter weather and flights will begin departing on Dec. 7, 2019.
