United Airlines is set to introduce a new direct flight route between Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Jackson Hole International Airport (JAC), catering primarily to premium travelers heading to the Wyoming resort town. This development marks another step in United's strategy to boost premium passenger traffic within domestic markets.

Starting December 20, United will operate these flights using Boeing 737-700 aircraft configured with 12 seats in United First, 36 in Economy Plus, and 78 in Economy. The service will run once a week on Saturdays, transporting up to 126 passengers each way.

The outbound flight from Dulles will depart at 09:00, arriving in Jackson Hole at 11:40 after approximately four hours and forty minutes. The return journey will leave Jackson at 14:30, landing back in Washington at 20:45 after around four hours and fifteen minutes of travel time. These services are designated as United Airlines Flight 2671 and Flight 689.

This move by United Airlines aligns with a broader trend among legacy carriers focusing on high-paying customers through limited but strategically significant routes. Despite traditionally being the domain of low-cost carriers, once-weekly services like this one are now part of full-service airlines' offerings for specific demographics.

United has been known for charging a price premium on similar routes; round-trip tickets during peak holiday weekends can reach approximately $1,400 according to the airline's website. Simple Flying has reached out for comment from United regarding this new route but has yet to receive a response.

Jackson Hole International Airport sees most major US airlines operating flights mainly during peak seasons due to fluctuating travel demand associated with its status as a ski destination. Year-round services include American Airlines from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Delta Air Lines from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), and existing United Airlines flights from Denver International Airport (DEN). Additional seasonal operations are conducted by Alaska Airlines from San Diego International Airport (SAN), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Seattle/Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
