From December 17th, new nonstop United service from Houston and Washington, D.C. will service Cartagena, Colombia. Both Houston International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport will provide these trips year-round. Four flights per week will be offered during the winter aboard a Boeing 737. The planes are equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for seatback screens, larger overhead bins and soon will offer free Starlink WiFi for MileagePlus members. Flights can be purchased on United.com and via the United app.
“Colombia has been an important part of United’s Latin America network for more than 30 years, and our new service to Cartagena reflects our continued investment in the country and commitment to offering customers new and distinct travel experiences,” said Patrick Quayle, Senior Vice President of Network Planning and Global Alliances, United Airlines. “As our third destination in Colombia, complementing our service to Bogota and Medellín, Cartagena gives our customers access to a different side of the country while making it easier for travelers across North America to experience one of the Caribbean’s most iconic destinations.”
“The architectural beauty, vibrant culture and thriving culinary scene are just a few reasons why travel experts say Cartagena should be on people’s bucket list this year,” said David Kinzelman, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at United Airlines. “By flying direct, we’ll give our customers even more time to see the sights and along the way, they’ll enjoy all the value we pack into each flight – seatback screens, Bluetooth connections, larger overhead bins and a suite of tools to make the journey easier in the United app.”
