United to extend Lisbon, Barcelona, Rome flights into December from Washington Dulles

United Airlines plans to extend its schedule across the pond from Washington Dulles International Airport, according to Cirium. United, one of the big three from the United States, will continue its connections from Washington direct to Barcelona, Rome, and Lisbon throughout summer and until December. Historically, the US carrier would operate these routes as seasonal services, accommodating peak summer travelers until October, when the routes would hibernate. With the travel rebound in full swing, United Airlines plans to capitalize on this continued demand. Pat Mullane, Manager of Corporate Communication at United, released this statement: "United is thrilled to be extending its seasonal non-stop service between Washington Dulles and three European destinations: Lisbon, Portugal; Barcelona, Spain, and Rome, Italy. The non-stop service between these cities will now operate until December 13, 2023 (originally October 27, 2023)." Historically, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) has had a flurry of long-haul routes catering to business and leisure travelers. Travel across the North Atlantic Ocean remains popular year-round, and United Airlines includes various seasonal services from most US hubs.<br/>
