The route

United Airlines is expanding its Mediterranean reach with a new seasonal service for 2025. Connecting Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) directly to Palma de Mallorca (PMI), this route offers a primary gateway for North American travelers to the heart of the Balearic Islands without the need for a layover in Madrid or Barcelona.

This seasonal direct flight connects the New York metropolitan area with the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands. Operating four times weekly, the service provides a convenient link for summer vacationers seeking the beaches and historic charm of Mallorca.

As one of the few direct links between the United States and the Balearic Islands, this route significantly reduces travel time for East Coast passengers. It underscores United's strategy to provide unique point-to-point European leisure destinations during the peak summer season.
