United Airlines plans more flights from Chicago, LA to Mexico
CHICAGO – United Airlines said Monday it has applied to fly five new routes from Chicago and Los Angeles to cities in Mexico under a new bilateral agreement between the two countries.
The service will begin this winter if it gets government approval, United said.
The new Chicago routes would include service on United’s discount carrier Ted to Cancun 11 times a week and daily service to Puerto Vallarta.
The airline also wants to fly three new daily Ted routes between Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun.
United earlier added a second daily flight between Los Angeles and Mexico City in June and begins Saturday service between Chicago and Los Cabos this week, with three more weekly flights added in December.
More flights to Mexico also are planned from its hub in Denver
