After announcing an international expansion earlier this week, United Airlines piggybacked the news by revealing more flights and more opportunities for customers to connect between Washington, D.C. and Florida.
Starting October 29, United will begin twice-daily, year-round service between Washington Dulles and Fort Myers and Sarasota in Florida.
The airline will also operate an extended seasonal winter service between Miami and Washington Dulles starting in October 2019.
"These new routes offer our customers many more opportunities to conveniently travel year-round between Florida and our Washington hub," United vice president Ankit Gupta said in a statement. "Our schedule offers customers from Fort Myers and Sarasota easy connections to more than 130 flights across the United States and 11 European destinations with just one stop."
United's service to Fort Myers and Sarasota complements the growth of the airline in Florida, which already boasts more than 50 routes served from Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
In addition to its new service between Washington Dulles and Florida, United operates more than 140 daily flights to 12 Florida cities.
