United has announced the largest transatlantic expansion in its history that will see the addition of 10 new flights and five new destinations—Amman, Jordan; Bergen, Norway; Azores, Portugal; Palma de Mallorca, Spain and Tenerife in the Spanish Canary Islands. All of the new routes are set to begin in Spring 2022. Additionally, next year, United will add new flights to five popular European destinations: Berlin, Dublin, Milan, Munich and Rome. The airline will also launch seven routes that were interrupted due to the pandemic. Flights are subject to government approval.
The Chicago-based carrier will begin new capital to capital service between Washington, D.C. and Amman, Jordan, starting May 5. The airline will fly direct to Amman with service three times weekly with a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
Azores will become the third Portuguese destination to be served by the airline with brand new flights between New York/Newark and Ponta Delgada in the Azores beginning May 13. This daily service on the brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft joins United's existing flights to Porto, which will return in March, and Lisbon, which the airline is currently operating from New York/Newark and will resume from Washington, D.C. next summer.
Beginning May 20, United will launch flights between New York/Newark and Bergen. The airline will offer three times weekly service on a Boeing 757-200.
United is expanding its Spanish beach getaway destinations with three times weekly flights between New York/Newark and Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, launching June 2 with a Boeing 767-300ER. This will add to United's existing service to Madrid and Barcelona.
Travelers looking for an additional new beach destination can enjoy the stunning black and white sand beaches of Spain's Canary Islands with United's new flight from New York/Newark to Tenerife. The service will be provided three times a week launching June 9 with a Boeing 757-200.

New daily flights between Chicago and Milan will join existing seasonal flights between Chicago and Rome, while new daily capital to capital service between Washington, D.C. and Berlin will join other service to Berlin from New York/Newark.
