Tickets for Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City flights will be available for sale at a later date.
Adelaide, Australia
UAL positions itself as the first airline to provide nonstop service to Adelaide, Australia. Starting Dec. 11, 2025, UAL is expected to start its nonstop three-times-weekly seasonal service from San Francisco to Adelaide, Australia, targeting the Australian summer season. The flight will be operated on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. UAL will also fly to Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.
Manila, Philippines
From Oct. 25, 2025, UAL is expected to start flying its second flight between San Francisco and Manila. This service comes with a dual option of both daytime and evening travel options in both directions and will be operated on a Boeing 777-300ER. UAL is the only U.S. airline to serve the Philippines, with service to both Manila and Cebu.
Tickets for the Adelaide and new Manila flights are now on sale on United.com and the United app.

We offer more than the best schedule and travel options – we connect customers to sought after destinations and opportunities to explore new, vibrant cities."
Route Expansion Plans of Other Airline Companies
UAL is not the sole U.S. airline to expand its international network. Recently, American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL - Free Report) announced new routes to two popular destinations — Cancun, Mexico, and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic while also expanding services on routes to Hawaii, South America and Europe.
Alaska Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alaska Air Group (ALK - Free Report) , will start a new nonstop service between Seattle and Seoul Incheon. The service will commence on Sept. 12. Flights on this route will be operated by Hawaiian Airlines, which was acquired by Alaska Air last year.
A long-haul, widebody Airbus A330-200 aircraft will operate on the route. The Pacific Northwest will be linked to South Korea via this route as Alaska Air develops the Seattle hub into a new global gateway.
The carrier aims to serve at least 12 nonstop international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle by 2030. Daily flights between Seattle and Tokyo Narita will commence on May 12. The company’s Seattle hub is the largest airline hub on the West Coast, serving over 100 nonstop destinations across North America, offering convenient travel options and connections.
Earlier this year, JetBlue Airways (JBLU - Free Report) launched flights from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. The company’s daily, year-round service to Orlando International Airport and three-times-weekly, seasonal service to Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers take off from Manchester.
