  • September:
    • Austin, TX to Bentonville, AR to see University of Texas at University of Arkansas

    • Los Angeles, CA to South Bend, IN to see University of Southern California at University of Notre Dame
    • Raleigh, NC to South Bend, IN to see University of North Carolina at University of Notre Dame
  • November:
    • Baton Rouge, LA to Birmingham, AL to see Louisiana State University at University of Alabama
    • South Bend, IN to San Francisco, CA to see University of Notre Dame at Stanford University

Professional Football

United isn’t forgetting about diehard professional football fans and will add 16 new direct flights for four of the most highly anticipated games of the early season, including flights between:

  • Green Bay, WI and New Orleans, LA to watch two of the most proficient offenses square off opening weekend in the Big Easy on Sept. 12
  • Green Bay, WI and San Francisco, CA to witness the San Francisco 49ers host one of their fiercest conference rivals under the lights of Levi’s Stadium the weekend of Sept. 26
  • Tampa, FL and Boston, MA when the “GOAT” returns to his old stomping ground on Oct. 3
  • Buffalo, NY and Kansas City, MO to see the road team get a shot at revenge the weekend of Oct. 10

The addition of these new point-to-point routes is just the latest way the airline is creatively rebuilding its network. United started to prepare for the return of air travel more than a year ago, matching its flying schedule to demand by maintaining close coordination between its network planning teams and the airline’s operating groups. In September, United will fly 88% of its 2019 domestic schedule. To purchase one of these flights, visit https://www.united.com/en-us/game-day.
