On May 23, United will add daily seasonal
service from Los Angeles, resulting in up to five daily flights from
United's hubs to Tulum this upcoming summer*. Flights will be
available for sale beginning November 18.
Mexico continues to be a leading leisure
destination and Tulum has quickly emerged as one of Mexico's most
popular destinations for American travelers. Located approximately 90 miles
south of Cancun, the new Tulum International Airport will give
United customers more direct access to the city and more opportunities to
travel to the ever-popular Riviera Maya region, complementing United's existing
services to Cancun and Cozumel.
"Tulum is at the top of a lot of travel
lists – great beaches and restaurants, and a region featuring a rich history
and spectacular natural beauty," said Patrick Quayle, United's senior
vice president of Network Planning and Alliances. "Our new direct flights
help people get there faster than ever, giving them even more time to enjoy one
of Mexico's most unique destinations."
This winter, United will be the largest airline
between the U.S. and Riviera Maya region and will have the most flying to Cancun in
its history. United will offer more than 200 weekly flights from eight U.S.
cities to Cancun during the winter peak, including flights on the
airline's Boeing 777 widebody aircraft from Chicago, Denver and Houston.
United will also continue to fly between Cozumel and Chicago, Denver and Houston,
operating up to 11 weekly flights this winter.
United also is growing its network in the
broader Latin America and Caribbean region by 25% this
winter, and will remain the largest U.S. airline to Central America. Some
additional enhancements in United's Caribbean and Latin America winter
