United Airlines launches YOLO, Fly SOLO as singles travel soars to new high

In a somewhat ironic turn of events, United Airlines is launching its YOLO, Fly SOLO mantra at the same time as couples everywhere turn their attention to romance, red roses and candlelit dinners. Rather than killing that moment, United Airlines said it is helping empower solo travelers ahead of the National Plan a Solo Vacation Day on March 1, 2025. On Wednesday, United Airlines announced it is sharing travel hacks, popular destinations and app features around its ultimate travel mantra: YOLO (You Only Live Once), Fly SOLO. Last year, United recorded its highest-ever numbers for solo travel, and over the last decade, Google searches for "solo travel" have skyrocketed by 223%. The most popular destinations for single travel on United's global network include Brazil, South Korea, China, India and Nigeria. United's app includes features such as wayfinding, agent on demand and seat preference settings designed to help solo fliers feel confident about their travel. Ahead of National Plan a Solo Vacation Day, United Chief Customer Officer David Kinzelman said the airline knows customers want to make memories all over the world, and its goal is to help them do that easily - whether they're traveling with a companion or flying solo. <br/>
