United Airlines just keeps growing its route network. I’ve often said that United has the best international options and they keep on getting better. Yesterday, flights between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) were added. Now, United is offering another flight to China with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) on the map starting on May 1st.
The new route will operate between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) 3x weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays outbound and Thursdays, Saturdays, and Mondays for the return. Boeing 787-9 aircraft will fly this new route and offer 48 Polaris® (Business Class), 21 Premium Plus, 39 Economy Plus, and 149 Economy Class seats.
United currently offers service to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) from its San Francisco International Airport (SFO) hub. Its Star Alliance partner, Air China, also connects the United States and China’s capital through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Delta Air Lines will also be adding the LAX route in May 2025.
Anthony’s Take: China has not recovered to its pre-pandemic travel levels. Carriers are adding flights and more routes. This is expected to continue in 2025 and the appeal will grow now that China has also eased Visa requirements.
