The route

Newark Liberty International Airport serves as a premier gateway for travelers heading from the New York tri-state area to France. United Airlines operates a high-frequency service to Paris Charles de Gaulle, providing a critical link for both business professionals and vacationers. This route offers a seamless transatlantic experience with modern wide-body aircraft and multiple daily options.

Connecting the financial and cultural hubs of the Eastern United States and France, the EWR to CDG route is a staple of United's international network. The flight crosses the Atlantic in approximately seven and a half hours, arriving at France's primary international hub where passengers can access the city or connect to the rest of Europe.

As a major hub-to-hub operation, this route facilitates significant economic and cultural exchange. For United, it represents a core service between its Newark stronghold and the Star Alliance network in Europe. It is particularly valued for its reliability and the comfort of the Dreamliner and Triple Seven aircraft used on the journey.
