United Airlines returns to New York’s Kennedy Airport
The Star Alliance carrier will use its Boeing 767-300ER aircraft – which feature 46 business class all-aisle-access seats and 22 United Premium Plus seats – on the routes, which will be operated once per day, five days a week to each West Coast airport.
“United’s return to JFK reflects not only our strong commitment to the New York City area, but also to increasing service to and from the places our customers want to fly,” said United’s Vice President of Domestic Network Planning and Scheduling, Ankit Gupta.
“With the addition of JFK, United now offers unmatched service, greater convenience, more choice and a best-in-class product for travelers throughout the New York City region as they return to the skies.”
United will operate from Terminal 7, the base for a dozen Star Alliance partners at JFK, including access to 15 destinations in 14 countries as of March 2021.
United’s premium cabin features flat-bed seats on all flights similar to the current Newark-Los Angeles and Newark-San Francisco offerings, providing a consistent and comprehensive NYC-West Coast product.
This includes the signature cooling gel pillow along with the Saks Fifth Avenue day blanket and pillow. The routes offer seasonal menus crafted by renowned chefs and distinctive amenities.
This includes both travelers in United Business and United Premium Plus sections who enjoy a complimentary hot entrée, mixed nuts, salad and dessert, as well as complimentary alcoholic beverages.
The Economy Plus and Economy sections feature the United all-in-one snack bag as well as the airline’s buy on board program, which returns on April 12.
