United MASSIVELY Expanding China Flights, With Six New Routes

United Airlines has just updated its winter schedule for 2025-2026, and it includes a gargantuan expansion to Mainland China and Hong Kong.

United schedules six new Asia routes for this winter

As of late October 2025, United has just loaded several new routes to Asia into its schedule:

• Daily Chicago (ORD) to Beijing (PEK) flights, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER
• Daily Chicago (ORD) to Shanghai (PVG) flights, operated by a Boeing 787-8
• Daily Newark (EWR) to Beijing (PEK) flights, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER
• Daily Newark (EWR) to Hong Kong (HKG) flights, operated by a Boeing 777-300ER
• Daily Newark (EWR) to Shanghai (PVG) flights, operated by a Boeing 777-200ER
• 3x weekly San Francisco (SFO) to Chengdu (CTU) flights, operated by a Boeing 787-9

All the flights are already bookable, though currently only the highest fare classes are available. That should change soon, and is a standard practice.
