Summary
United Airlines is launching nonstop flights from San Francisco to Sapporo, Japan, starting December 11. Sapporo is Japan’s top ski destination and home to the Sapporo Snow Festival. United will also begin flying from Chicago to Tokyo’s Narita International Airport in October. This is part of the airline’s expansion to new destinations, including Mongolia, Greenland, Adelaide, and Bari, Italy.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
United’s new route to Sapporo offers skiers and snowboarders a chance to hit the slopes in Japan. The city will also be home to a new Park Hyatt hotel. Meanwhile, United is also adding more flights to Tokyo, with a new route from Chicago to Narita International Airport. The airline is doubling down on Japan, with a bigger footprint than any other U.S. carrier.
Because nothing says “relaxing vacation” like a scheduled skiing trip to a crowded festival.
