United bets on three European spots open to Americans

United Airlines will fly three new seasonal routes to Europe as the carrier tries to capitalize on business in destinations now open to Americans ready to fly internationally.

The Chicago-based carrier said Monday it would begin flights in July from Newark, New Jersey, to Dubrovnik, Croatia; Washington, D.C., to Athens; and Chicago to Reykjavik, Iceland. The flights to Greece and Iceland will be daily while the Croatia flight will operate three times weekly. All three will end on Oct. 3.
