Consistent with the existing five flights between London Heathrow and New York/Newark, the new sixth frequency will also be operated with United’s reconfigured Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, featuring the highest proportion of premium seats on any widebody aircraft operated by any U.S. carrier. The extended cabin features 46 United Polaris business seats in the premium cabin and 22 United Premium Plus seats.
“Our New York hub provides our U.K. customers with more travel options, not only to the Big Apple, but also offers an extensive range of connections from Newark to almost 100 destinations across the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America and South America.” Said Bob Schumacher, United’s Managing Director Sales U.K. and Ireland.
