As someone who lives 10 miles from Newark Airport, we are already spoiled for direct flights to Europe. We hate connections! And one of my best areas of expertise is how to combine those direct United flights to give you the best route for your vacation without having to backtrack. A large part of my business is how best to plan your vacation around those flights. And I am super excited for these additions in 2027, although I’m nervous it’s going to expose some of my best known secrets (looking at you Slovenia)
Italy, Spain and France are all familiar, but these flights get you into the lesser known parts of the region and offer great options for 1 way routes.
More nonstop flights aren’t just about convenience. They mean less time connecting and backtracking, and more time actually enjoying your vacation.
Newark already flies nonstop to Palermo, so Catania means you can now travel across Sicily without backtracking. And Sardinia opens up more possibilities for Mediterranean island hopping. Both of these islands are their own trip.
That’s 8 nonstop destinations in Italy from EWR!
Probably my favorite addition. Slovenia is the country to visit before everyone else discovers how special it is—and this makes one of my favorite routes, Venice → Slovenia → Croatia, even easier.
Combined with the existing nonstop to São Miguel, you now have even more flexibility for an Azores island-hopping trip. Did I mention the flight is only 6 hours?
A new nonstop gateway to Provence and the South of France. Think Aix-en-Provence, Cassis, Saint-Rémy and Châteauneuf-du-Pape—and no need to backtrack to Paris to fly home.
Spain will now have up to 9 nonstop options from EWR. Valencia opens up more of the Mediterranean coast, while Ibiza offers gorgeous coves, boutique hotels and a much quieter side beyond the party scene.
Small but strategically interesting—and easy to combine with Belgium, France or Germany.
