Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
United Airlines’ nonstop flights to Caracas will operate daily from Houston, with a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The airline aims to strengthen cultural and economic ties between the US and Venezuela. Flights are available to book now, but prices start at $1,465 for a round-trip journey in September. Award availability is not yet available on this route. The return of nonstop service between the US and Venezuela comes after the US removed and arrested Venezuela’s former president, Nicolas Maduro, in January.
