United Airlines made some cuts to its schedule with Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) each losing two routes along with two others removed from the map.

Airline route watchdog @AdrianWaltz released his weekly updates with all of the notable weekly adds and losses.

Palm Springs

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)

United will stop service to Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) from both Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) (1x daily service ending on May 21st) as well as Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) (2x daily service ends on April 30th). I’m bummed about the nonstop UA flights from Chicago. American Airlines will continue to serve the route. Houston flyers will lose the only nonstop option. It’s unclear if these routes will return seasonally.

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

The Golf Capital of Florida, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), will also see nonstop flights cut from both Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) (1x daily service ending on May 21st) as well as Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) (1x daily service ends on May 22nd). American Airlines will also continue to serve the route. It’s unclear if these routes will return seasonally.

United ORD

Other Cuts

United is also removing its nonstop flights from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Boise Airport (BOI) and Bradley International Airport (BDL). Both of these routes have already been cancelled.

Anthony’s Take: I’m not thrilled with the cuts from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and anecdotally based on ticket prices am surprised as both of those routes were expensive tickets every time I flew them or researched fares. We’ll see if any of these return in the future.

Always preferred AA to UA for the ORD-PSP route. Back in the day it used to be served by a DC-10 in season and later by a MD-88.

Sorry to tell you, Anthony, but United service to PSP from IAH and ORD is seasonal – it has been for a number of years. So you need to clarify if this is a season cessation, or they’re wiping the route off their map forever. It’s not secret both segments go out FULL in season.
