United Airlines expects particularly high demand for the upcoming holidays. From December 19, 2024 to January 6, 2025, the airline plans to carry more than 9,9 million passengers - an increase of about twelve percent compared to the previous year.
More than half a million passengers will travel with United every day, with more than 540.000 travelers expected on peak days. To meet the increased demand, United is increasing its flight offering to almost 4.500 flights per day. Particularly popular destinations during the Christmas season and New Year are Orlando, Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale, Honolulu and the Mexican city of Cancún.
To make travel easier for passengers, United recommends using the United app. This allows travelers to go through security checkpoints and check baggage more quickly, among other things. Passengers can also reserve their seat on the plane and monitor the location of their suitcase at all times thanks to the baggage tracker.
