Starting November 1 and November 2, United Airlines will resume its popular nonstop flights to Tel Aviv (TLV) from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Washington Dulles (IAD) airports. This marks United’s return to these routes since 2023, solidifying its commitment to one of the Middle East’s most sought-after travel destinations.

United is the only U.S. carrier to offer these direct flights, providing a seamless travel experience for passengers who previously had to endure connecting flights. The Chicago service will operate four times a week, while the Washington service will run three times a week. This expansion is a significant move for travelers in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, making a trip to Israel more accessible than ever.

In addition to these new routes, United recently increased its service from Newark (EWR) to Tel Aviv to twice a day. The airline’s growing network offers travelers from across the U.S. more choices for both business and leisure travel.

Tel Aviv, known for its mix of modern amenities, historical sites, and vibrant tech and academic scenes, is a prime destination for tourists and business travelers alike. The city also serves as a key hub for onward connections to Europe and the UK, adding another layer of convenience for international travelers.

United’s long-haul aircraft on these routes are equipped with premium amenities designed for comfort on long, overnight flights. Passengers can enjoy premium seating, satellite entertainment, and a variety of dining options. United continuously evaluates its flight schedules and aircraft to ensure the highest level of operational efficiency, safety, and security. While the San Francisco-Tel Aviv route is currently on hold, the airline remains committed to assessing its network to meet evolving passenger demand.

With the reintroduction of these nonstop services, United is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for convenient and reliable travel to Israel, further strengthening its leadership in the U.S.-Israel air travel market.
