&lt;p&gt;United Airlines has announced new direct flights from New York/Newark to two popular Portuguese destinations: Faro in the Algarve and Funchal on Madeira Island.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting in 2025, the much-anticipated New York-Faro route will operate four times a week, marking the first non-stop service between the US and the Algarve. The New York/Newark-Faro flight is set to begin in May 2025, followed by the seasonal New York/Newark-Funchal route launching in June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Originally planned for 2024, the Faro route was delayed, reportedly due to aircraft availability. Once it launches, United will be the only airline offering a direct connection between Faro and the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These new routes will join United’s existing year-round flights between Lisbon and New York/Newark and Washington, as well as seasonal services to and from Porto and Ponta Delgada (Azores).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This expansion is part of what United calls “the largest international expansion in United history.”&lt;/p&gt;
