We are excited to announce our new daily summer seasonal service between ORD and ATH (Athens) starting May 23, 2024, on our Boeing 787-8 aircraft!

“United continues to have the largest and most diverse network across the Atlantic, and we’re thrilled to add another exciting destination out of ORD,” said Global Network Planning and Alliances SVP Patrick Quayle. “With nonstop service to destinations no other U.S. carriers serve, earlier starts to our most popular seasonal routes and even more transatlantic flights for our customers across the country, United is the clear choice for customers looking to ship across the Atlantic”

This summer, we will fly to ATH from EWR, IAD and ORD — increasing our flying to the Greek capital by 25%! Our seasonal service from EWR and IAD will begin earlier in the summer: EWR will start on March 30 and IAD on April 14.

Fun fact: We continue to offer more nonstop, transatlantic flights from ORD than any other U.S. carrier. This summer, our transatlantic flying from ORD will be more than 10% larger than it was in 2023, offering nonstop service to 15 European cities — with destinations no other U.S. carrier serves, including: AMS (Amsterdam), BRU (Brussels), FRA (Frankfurt), KEF (Reykjavík), MUC (Munich), MXP (Milan), SNN (Shannon), and ZRH (Zürich).
