United Airlines Expands Flights Summer 2025
United Airlines Expands Flights Summer 2025 With More Europe, More Sun, and a Surprise Stop in Montana
United Airlines is beefing up its Chicago O’Hare network for summer 2025, adding more flights to Europe, a transatlantic comeback for Reykjavik, and—because why not—Billings, Montana. If you’ve ever dreamed of a United flight whisking you away to Athens or Dublin straight from the Windy City, your moment has arrived.

New Domestic Destinations (Yes, Montana’s on the List)
Starting May 22, United will initiate daily services to Ontario, California (ONT) or Billings, Montana (BIL). Ontario will be served by a Boeing 737-800 (as if LA traffic wasn’t bad enough—let’s add more flights), while Billings will have the Embraer E175 because the plane needs to get used to landing by the herds of bison.
Travellers hoping to leave the country without much hassle can now do so from Halifax, Nova Scotia (YHZ) which will join the schedule on May 24. The destination will also be served with weekly flights on the Embraer E175. Because who does not wish to switch from deep-dish pizza to the fresh seafood of the Atlantic?
United’s European Takeover: More Flights, Bigger Planes, and an Early Start
Europe is getting extra love from Chicago this summer, with United tweaking schedules, swapping aircraft, and sending more people across the Atlantic than ever.
- Athens: Daily service starts earlier than planned on May 1 and will now feature a Boeing 787-10, which means more seats, more legroom, and more people Instagramming their Greek island getaways.
- Barcelona: The route now kicks off on April 21, a full 10 days ahead of schedule, starting with a 787-10 before transitioning to a 787-8 on May 1. Translation? You’ll have extra time to sip sangria by the sea.
- Dublin: The Boeing 757-200 gets an upgrade to a 787-8 on March 29, bringing with it a smoother ride, more comfort, and fewer elbow battles over the armrest.
- Milan Malpensa: The seasonal route is back from April 7, a little later than planned but still in time for a springtime espresso at the Duomo.
- Munich & Paris: United’s doing a plane swap here. The Munich route downgrades to a 787-8, while Paris gets an upgrade to a roomier 787-10 on March 29. If you were hoping for more space to practice your German, bad news. But if you’re flying to France, enjoy the extra legroom.
Reykjavik Returns, Shannon Joins the Fun
Nordic lovers, rejoice! United is bringing back its Chicago–Reykjavik flights from May 19 to September 23, using a Boeing 757-200. That means more access to waterfalls, puffins, and whatever the Northern Lights decide to do that night.
Meanwhile, Shannon (SNN) gets a seasonal return starting May 22, also via a daily 757-200. Perfect for those looking to kiss the Blarney Stone or just find an Irish pub where they already know how to pour a proper pint.
What’s the Big Picture?
United isn’t just adding flights—it’s making serious moves to dominate transatlantic travel from Chicago. With bigger planes, better schedules, and more European destinations, summer 2025 is shaping up to be the year of Chicago jetting off to Europe like never before.

And hey, if Europe’s not your thing, there’s always Montana.
Icelandair Adds Miami to the Mix
Icelandair Adds Miami to the Mix—Because Why Not Go From Ice to Beach?
Good news for all you winter wanderers: Icelandair is taking you from snow to sun with its shiny new Miami route. That’s right, starting October 25, 2025, Icelandair will be offering three weekly flights between Reykjavik and Miami, bringing you closer to those palm trees, warm breezes, and mojitos (we assume).
The flights will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. During Iceland’s winter routine from November to March, these flights will be operated by the brand new Airbus A321LR, a slick looking addition to the Icelandair fleet. What does this mean? In broad strokes, it’s 8 hours of relaxed flying to one of the most important cities in America.

Why Icelandair Adds Miami to the Mix?
Great question, you’re basically asking “Why not Miami?” Icelandair’s CEO, Bogi Nils Bogason (he sounds like someone you’d trust to know what’s up), explained that Miami is a perfect match for the airline’s already extensive network. From Miami, you’ll have easy connections to 34 destinations in Europe—so you can start your winter escape in Iceland and end up in the sun or snow of places like Paris, London, or Amsterdam.
Plus, with Icelandair’s ultra-fuel-efficient fleet, they’re doing all this with less environmental impact. How’s that for good vibes all around?
Iceland to Miami: It’s Not Just About the Weather
Let’s be real: if you’re tired of the cold (and who isn’t?), an Iceland to Miami trip sounds like the ultimate contrast. You’ll go from frosty fjords to sandy beaches faster than you can say “sunglasses and sunscreen.” So, get ready for those winter vibes, South Florida style!
Icelandair is giving you a new way to escape the chill and soak up some Miami heat. Book your tickets soon—because this flight isn’t just about the destination; it’s the smooth ride between two worlds.
Now you’ve got the scoop. Time to pack your bags, get those sunglasses ready, and start planning your winter getaway. And if you need to stop in Iceland on your way, well… you know you can.

U.S. Cities to Jet Off To
Firstly, PLAY is taking you to major U.S cities like Boston, Baltimore, and New York. Who would have thought you could kick off your trip in the Big Apple and be having a croissant in Paris a couple of hours later? That’s the beauty of effortless transitions between the US and Europe with PLAY.
European Dream Destinations
But hang on, there’s still more. PLAY is not only for your corporate travel and business city breaks (even though Paris really does have a certain je ne sais quoi), but they also offer top-rated sunny locations like Tenerife, Antalya, Lisbon, and Madeira that practically yell, “take me to the beach right now.” If you're more of a culture and croissant sort of person though, maybe you would prefer a trip to Barca, Paris, and Amsterdam. Europe just opened up for you and it’s unlike any other continent.
Bonus Perk: Icelandic Stopover, Anyone?
And here's the twist; if you’re flying between Europe and the U.S., you can take a stopover in Iceland for 10 days at no extra cost. Yes, you heard it correctly. Truly, Ten. Whole. Days in the land of fire and ice. Icelandic volcanoes? Check. Northern Lights? Double check. A puffin or two might also be in the mix. All this without forking out a single penny more. It’s as though they're providing you with a complimentary holiday inside your holiday.

Whether you’re flying solo, planning a romantic getaway, or gathering the whole crew for a group trip, PLAY Airlines is making sure you get there in style (and possibly with an Icelandic detour on the way). With this new flight schedule, the possibilities are endless, and your vacation just got a little more fun (and a lot more flexible).
