United Arlines International Schedule For April 2020

United will reduce international flights in April by 85% over 2019 levels. Here’s a look at what flights will remain.

United Airlines Transatlantic Flights for April 2020

United will use Newark as its Atlantic gateway, maintaining daily service to three key European cities as well as to India and Tel Aviv. United will also keep one daily service to London from Washington Dulles. All transatlantic service from Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Denver, and Los Angeles will cease.

  • Atlantic
    • Newark (EWR) -> to
      • Brussels (BRU) – Daily
      • Frankfurt (FRA) – Daily
      • London (LHR) – Daily
      • Mumbai (BOM) – Daily
      • New Delhi (DEL) – Daily
      • Tel Aviv (TLV) – Daily
    • Washington (IAD) -> to
      • London (LHR) – Daily

United Airlines Transpacific Flights for April 2020

United will keep four weekly flights between Newark and Tokyo, but otherwise funnel all transpacific traffic through its San Francisco hub. That will include service to Japan, Singapore, and Australia.

  • Pacific
    • Newark (EWR) -> to
      • Tokyo (NRT) – 4x weekly
    • San Francisco (SFO) -> to
      • Melbourne (MEL) – 3x weekly
      • Osaka (KIX) – 5x weekly
      • Singapore (SIN) – daily
      • Sydney (SYD) – daily
      • Tokyo (HND) – daily
      • Tokyo (NRT) – daily

United Airlines Mexico Flights for April 2020

United will maintain service to eight Mexican destination from its primary Latin America hub in Houston. San Francisco will still serve three cities and Los Angeles, Chicago, and Newark will still serve Cancun.

  • Mexico
    • Houston (IAH) -> to
      • Cancun (CUN) – daily
      • Guadalajara (GDL) – daily
      • Guanajuato (BJX) – daily
      • San Jose del Cabo (SJD) – daily
      • Mazatlán (MZT) – Saturdays
      • Mexico (MEX) – daily
      • Monterrey (MTY) – daily
      • Puerto Vallarta (PVR) – daily
    • Los Angeles (LAX) -> to
      • San Jose del Cabo (SJD) – daily
    • San Francisco (SFO) -> to
      • Cancun (CUN) – daily
      • San Jose del Cabo (SJD) – daily
      • Puerto Vallarta (PVR) – daily
    • Chicago (ORD) -> to
      • Cancun (CUN) – daily
    • Newark (EWR) -> to
      • Cancun (CUN) – daily

United Airlines Caribbean Flights for April 2020

All Caribbean flights, including to the U.S. territories Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, will operate from Newark.

  • Caribbean
    • Newark (EWR) -> to
      • Antigua (ANU) – Saturdays
      • Nassau (NAS) – daily
      • Turks and Caicos (PLS) – daily
      • Punta Cana (PUJ) – daily
      • Santo Domingo (SDQ) – daily
      • San Juan (SJU) – daily [I know, this is technically a U.S. domestic flight]
      • Saint Lucia (UVF) – Saturdays
      • Saint Thomas (STT) – daily [I know, this is technically a U.S. domestic flight]

United Airlines Central + South American Flights for April 2020

United will suspend service to most of Latin America south of Mexico, leaving only Belize City and Sao Paulo in April.

  • Central + South America
    • Houston -> to
      • Belize (BZE) – daily
      • Sao Paulo (GRU) – daily

Canada?

United is maintaining service to Canada, but does not classify it as an “international” destination, at least n terms of this announcement.

CONCLUSION

This schedule marks an unprecedented drawdown of international service from United. Even with these significant cutbacks, United is still predicting low load factors and dismal performance. I don’t count 45 flights from the list above, but that is the number United specified: it may be that a few of the flights above will operate more than daily. It’s rather sobering that Chicago and Los Angeles will end up with only one international flight each next month…

    This is similar to up until the early 1980’s when you had to fly through JFK if you wanted to fly to Europe. In this case, mostly SFO or EWR and nothing from interior cities, like ORD or IAH.

    Maybe they should even cut back to one flight to Europe per day, a EWR-LHR-BRU-FRA milk run like airlines did in the 1960’s and 1970’s?

      They’ve already got us going from Orlando to Newark to Frankfurt to Barcelona. At least the return is Barcelona to Newark to Orlando.
      But it’s all going to be cancelled anyway they’re not going to have a cruise ship leaving from Barcelona May 2nd let alone allow flights between those countries.

    CUN is the one that gets me. I can’t believe that many people are still going on vacation that they require 4 daily flights there compared to the frequencies on other, more “essential” routes that aren’t 98% touriat-driven.

      Agree (my comment below). Ridiculous but then they have never been able to drop that Continental mentality (8 years already).

      Thank you for this list Matthew.

      Can you ID the days of service on routes where you list X days per week? Both outbound and return? Which day In April does this start?
      UA hub doesn’t list them either.

      Correction- You left off SFO-ICN (Seoul) 3x weekly; which is on UA hub.

    Still…..the usual Continental mentality……does United really need to go to 8-15 destinations in Mexico the Caribbean and Central America – who is going to these places ??? People losing their jobs and income all over the place and you’re going to put more flights into “party/vacation” destinations than to the few left in Asia and Europe?

    I’m still on UA901 SFO-LHR on April 8, and UA900 LHR-SFO on April 15. Downsized to a 787-9, and the front is pretty full. They must be keeping at least this one transatlantic flight from the west coast.
