.@NJGov – We had a dream last night that we went to Europe. 🛌💭 You were in it! Maybe because @EWRairport is now the country’s #1 airport for European destinations?

With all of the new additions, Newark has become the US airport with service to the most destinations in Europe. The two new routes to Stockholm, Sweden (an old Continental route) and to Málaga, Spain both are flown on Boeing 757-200s.
From San Francisco, United is now flying direct to Rome, Italy. The carrier is the sole one flying this route and its using a Boeing 777-200ER for the daily service. ITA Airways is launching some competition next month when it connects Rome and San Francisco.
Finally, United launched service to Berlin, Germany out of Washington DC on May 26th. (I covered that launch here.) The daily service is on a Boeing 767-400.
Anthony’s Take: Demand for summer travel to Europe is at an all-time high and United is offering more nonstop service (especially to leisure destinations and secondary cities) than any other US carrier. Now, if they could only improve Polaris catering a bit more.
