United Airlines has announced that they will operate a record number of flights from Chicago this fall to fun and sun destinations such as Phoenix, Austin, and Orlando, as well as to Latin America and the Caribbean.
On Friday (May 30, 2025), United Airlines announced that they will operate their busiest flight schedule of the year from Chicago this fall, with expanded service to popular warm weather destinations in the U.S. and worldwide. In October, the carrier will operate up to 592 daily flights from Chicago O’Hare (ORD), and will add a further 50 flights in November to sunny destinations such as Phoenix, Austin and Orlando. Compared to last year, the carrier will add 10 percent more seats to destinations in Florida. Service to Latin America and the Caribbean will also be increased to destinations including Liberia (Costa Rica), Cozumel (Mexico), Saint Martin, Guatemala City (Guatemala), Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), and San José del Cabo (Mexico).
In Friday’s announcement, United Airlines’ Vice President of O’Hare, Omar Idris, said,
“Building on the momentum of an anticipated-record-breaking summer, we’re taking things further this fall with our busiest flight schedule of the year — adding more flights and extending service to warm-weather destinations in the U.S. and around the world. This is truly a historic time for our hometown hub of O’Hare as we’re not only offering our customers the largest network from Chicago, but also new industry-leading amenities both at the airport and in the air.”
Chicago Department of Aviation’s Commissioner, Michael J. McMurray, added,
“The nation’s best-connected airport is getting even stronger, and I thank United Airlines for deepening their commitment to Chicago by building up service across Latin America and the Caribbean. These new and expanded flights offer more choices for travelers heading to sun-soaked destinations abroad, while building on O’Hare’s strong service to high-demand domestic cities like Phoenix, Austin, and Orlando.”
With the addition of new state-of-the-art Airbus A321neos and Boeing 737-9 MAX jets, United will fly more mainline aircraft from ORD this October than in the past two decades, providing guests with seatback entertainment at every seat and larger overhead bins. United serves more destinations from Chicago than any other airline. Recently, the carrier has hires over 2,000 new local employees, expanding their Chicagoland area team to more than 18,000.
