United To Offer Non-Stop Flights to Tulum International Airport

United recently announced that non-stop flights to Tulum International Airport will take place beginning in March 2024. They will depart from Newark/New York, Houston and Chicago. In May, United will add daily seasonal service from Los Angeles as well. Tulum continues to be one of Mexico’s most popular destinations for American travelers. The new Tulum International Airport is located about 90 miles south of Cancun and provides travelers with more direct access to the city, as well as to the Riviera Maya region. 

Tulum is at the top of a lot of travel lists – great beaches and restaurants, and a region featuring a rich history and spectacular natural beauty,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s senior vice president of Network Planning and Alliances. “Our new direct flights help people get there faster than ever, giving them even more time to enjoy one of Mexico’s most unique destinations.”
