United Airlines announced Monday it is adding nearly 150 additional flights between its hubs and popular spring break destinations including Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and select ski destinations.

Coming in Spring 2019, United will add more flights to attractive leisure destinations, including 31 flights to 12 islands in the Caribbean; 28 additional flights to seven cities in Mexico; and 27 flights to seven destinations in Central America.

The increased Central American service includes 16 flights to Costa Rica; three flights to Guatemala; and three flights to Belize.

"We want our customers to know that, no matter where they want to go for spring break, United Airlines can get them there," United vice president Ankit Gupta said in a statement. "This is the time of year when our customers start thinking about and planning the perfect getaway, and with our expanded spring schedule, we are offering more flights and more destinations than ever before."

In addition, the airline announced the extension of its new seasonal nonstop service between Chicago and Brownsville/South Padre Island through the end of the spring travel season in April.

United is also adding seven additional flights to Phoenix and Tucson; 15 additional flights to 10 cities in Florida; eight more flights to four islands in Hawaii, and 10 more flights to four of Colorado's top ski destinations, including Vail, Crested Butte, Steamboat Springs and Telluride.
