United Airlines Dublin-US Flights 2025
United Airlines Dublin-US Flights 2025
If you thought Guinness flowed smoothly, wait until you see United Airlines' summer 2025 schedule out of Dublin. In a move that screams "more flights, more craic," United is boosting its Ireland-US capacity by a whopping 40%—just in time for the summer rush when half of Ireland packs its bags for America (and half of America comes here to find their long-lost cousins).

Double Trouble to Washington DC
Starting March 29, 2025, United is doubling down on its Dublin-Washington Dulles route—going from one flight a day to two. That’s double the chance to make it to DC on time, double the free inflight snacks, and double the polite arguments over window seats.
Dreamliner Delight to Chicago
Fancy a trip to the Windy City? United’s also upgrading its Dublin-Chicago route with the sleek, state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Translation: comfier seats, fancier cabins, and mood lighting that will make you feel like you’re flying straight into a rom-com set at 35,000 feet.
More Seats Than Any Other US Airline
United already flies daily from Dublin to Newark (that’s New York, for those still googling), with seasonal services from Shannon to Newark and Chicago. But come summer 2025, United will be offering more seats from Dublin than any other US airline. If the Emerald Isle’s looking a little crowded, just hop a flight to the US—there’s plenty of room for everyone.
“Over 150 Places to Go”
Karolien De Hertogh, United’s director of sales for the UK and Ireland, put it best: “For summer 2025, our customers in Ireland can benefit from seamless connectivity via our hubs in Newark, Chicago, and Washington DC to over 150 onward destinations across the Americas.” In other words, from Dublin, you can pretty much get anywhere from Miami to Montana.
Meanwhile, JetBlue Wants in Too
Not to be outdone, JetBlue is expanding its European routes faster than you can say “What about my Avios?”
- Boston to Madrid: Daily seasonal flights kick off May 22 to October 24. Ole!
- Boston to Edinburgh: Daily service runs from May 23 to October 25—giving Scottish-Americans a straight shot back to the land of tartan.
- JetBlue’s also keeping its existing routes to London Heathrow, Paris CDG, Amsterdam Schiphol, Dublin, and more from Boston and New York JFK.
More Flights, More Options, Less FOMO
Between United and JetBlue, summer 2025 is shaping up to be a golden age for transatlantic travel. Whether you’re headed to Washington to see the monuments, Madrid for tapas, or Chicago to eat your weight in deep-dish pizza, the options are endless, and the seats are ready.

China Expands Visa-Free Travel to Six European Countries
China Expands Visa-Free Travel to Six European Countries -
Great news for wanderlusters! A new 15-day visa-free travel policy makes it possible for more tourists from six extra European countries to enjoy China. Starting on March 14 and ending on November 30, 2024, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg citizens can enter China without a visa.
Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg have been added to the list of countries whose nationals may enjoy visa-free entry into China.
Reasons for traveling
In addition to business visits and tourism purposes ordinary passport holders of these six countries may also pass through China or visit the country within the stated period without any form of visa since they are going on transit or visiting friends and relatives here.
What is the meaning?
This move demonstrates that China is committed to facilitating foreigners’ visits by promoting personnel exchanges and building fast-track networks for cross-border travels.
Any diplomatic significance?
Yes. This year alone saw Chinese Premier Li Qiang promise during his meeting with Swiss President Viola Amherd in January that her countrymen would get unilateral free access into China. The pledge was part of efforts aimed at forging closer diplomatic ties between Beijing and Bern besides boosting economic cooperation between them.
China Expands Visa-Free Travel to Six European Countries
The new development is aligned with Beijing’s desire to foster worldwide ties while making it easier for people from abroad come here either temporarily or permanently hence enhance mutual understanding among different cultures at such times when there are higher demands for various types of communications across borders than ever before due mainly but not limited solely globalization which necessitates establishment many more international linkages even though they might seem unnecessary initially given current technological advances especially those related air transport industry where flights can cover very long distances faster than other modes like rail or road thus reducing travel time significantly thereby increasing efficiency levels significantly also consequently further improving quality standards globally throughout all sectors involved both directly indirectly related tourism being one them hence this move will no doubt benefit the tourism industry not only locally but also internationally provided other countries reciprocate by allowing Chinese passport holders enter their territories without having to apply for visas additionally each nation should encourage its citizens visit another state during this trial period so as enable them appreciate diversity within humanity while still recognizing commonalities among different peoples across globe.
China has expanded its visa-free travel scheme to six European nations in an effort to build bridges between countries and simplify global connections, it said on Tuesday. The country hopes that by doing so there will be a greater understanding of different cultures during what is considered a time when communication across borders has never been more necessary due mainly (but not limited solely) globalization which necessitates establishment many more international linkages even though they might seem unnecessary initially given current technological advances especially those related air transport industry where flights can cover very long distances faster than other modes like rail or road thus reducing travel time significantly thereby increasing efficiency levels significantly also consequently further improving quality standards globally throughout all sectors involved both directly indirectly related tourism being one them.
The announcement comes after promises made earlier this year by China’s Premier Li Qiang at a meeting with Swiss President Viola Amherd. At the same conference, Beijing agreed to give Swiss citizens visa-free access to the country- a move that was welcomed as strengthening diplomatic relations and economic ties between the two countries.
Giant Panda
Breaking down barriers between nations through simplified border crossings could open up new possibilities for travellers. Whether you are an adventurer eager to see the Great Wall of China, a business person looking for manufacturing opportunities in Shenzhen or a backpacker seeking enlightenment from ancient Buddhist temples in Chengdu, this trial period offers something special for everyone.
The program builds on commitments made by Premier Li Qiang when he met with Swiss President Viola Amherd stating that Switzerland will receive unilateral free entry into China among other things which are aimed at deepening ties between Beijing and Bern as well as boosting economic cooperation both sides.
The move expands on China’s previous moves to simplify visa procedures for people from around the world. In 2016, the country introduced a 30-day visa-free stay for tourists visiting Hainan Island, and in 2017 it extended the same policy to non-Chinese visitors of several cities in Liaoning province.
