The Chicago-based airline's schedule includes more capacity to ski and beach destinations, including as many as 195 daily flights to 12 Florida airports, its most ever. United first announced itslast year, part of carriers' push to serve destinations that give travelers the ability to physically distance during the pandemic and also avoid other cities' limits on travel and other activities.
International travel remains hampered by ever-changing travel restrictions. The Biden administration, however, has said it plans to lift Covid-era rules barring many international visitors in early November, replacing them with vaccine and other requirements. Airline executives say carriers' recovery is closely tied to a drop in case rates. United in September said it trimmed its third-quarter schedule following the surge in Covid cases and a decline in bookings in late summer.
