“Our customers in Scotland will be able to benefit from even more travel options to visit New York City.”
United’s Newark hub offers Scottish travellers connections to more than 140 destinations across the US and the Americas vis United’s network.
Along with Glasgow, United is adding a number of new transatlantic routes like Split, Croatia, Bari in Italy, and Spain’s Santiago de Compostela.
