United Airlines has announced plans to introduce new services to Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, and Adelaide, alongside a second daily flight from San Francisco to Manila. The announcement was made on April 2 via a post on X.

According to United Airlines, this latest expansion is part of its largest-ever South Pacific schedule, driven by strong demand for air travel to Southeast Asia and Australia. These new routes are part of United's strategy to enhance international connectivity from key U.S. gateways, particularly San Francisco and Los Angeles. By adding service to new cities and increasing flight frequencies, the airline aims to offer travelers more non-stop options to underserved destinations in the Pacific region.

United will be the only U.S. airline operating nonstop flights to Adelaide, as well as both Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City. The Points Guy reports that these flights will utilize Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, recognized for their fuel efficiency and long-haul comfort. The routes are scheduled to commence in October and December 2024 and are expected to strengthen travel and business ties between the U.S. and these significant Asia-Pacific markets.

The airline has also expanded its service to the Philippines with a second daily flight from San Francisco to Manila, which began on October 25, 2024. United said that this move positions it as the largest U.S. carrier operating in the Philippines, addressing increased demand for both leisure and diaspora travel. The added frequency provides travelers with greater flexibility and more options for connecting between the U.S. West Coast and Southeast Asia.

Founded in 1926 and based in Chicago, United Airlines operates a global route network serving over 300 destinations across five continents. It maintains major hubs in cities such as Chicago, San Francisco, Newark, Houston, and Washington D.C., and is a founding member of the Star Alliance. Known for its extensive Pacific presence, United continues to lead U.S. carriers in offering nonstop service to emerging international destinations.
