United Airlines is expanding its non-stop direct services between Dublin and the US, which will see the carrier offer its highest ever capacity from Dublin from March.
It is marking the news with a seat offer increase of over 40% for summer 2025.
Starting 29 March 2025, the airline will seasonally double the number of flights between Dublin and Washington DC, from once to twice daily and will also increase capacity on its Dublin to Chicago O’Hare seasonal service with the introduction of a state-of-the-art Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, replacing the Boeing 757-200 previously operating this route.
In addition to these services, United offers year-round daily nonstop flights from Dublin to New York/Newark, as well as seasonal daily nonstop services from Shannon to New York/Newark and Chicago O’Hare. United will offer more flights and seats from Dublin than any other US airline for Summer 2025.

The airline is also adding three new routes from Washington DC/Dulles, including its first-ever flight to Dakar, Senegal operating year-round and new seasonal flights to Nice, France and Venice, Italy.
