United Airlines grows in Cleveland: new Las Vegas and Miami flights

CLEVELAND FLIGHTS

United grows in Cleveland

United Airlines added two new nonstop routes from Cleveland.

LAS VEGAS

Las Vegas route is live

The Las Vegas route started on September 24, 2026. It runs all year.

MIAMI

Miami starts in December

The Miami route starts on December 3, 2026. It runs through April 5, 2027.

SCHEDULE

Five flights a week

Both routes fly five times a week. They skip Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

THE PLANES

Boeing 737-800 planes

Both routes use Boeing 737-800 planes.

THE HISTORY

Cleveland was once a hub

United closed its Cleveland hub in 2014 after years of losses.

THE NUMBERS

A steep drop

United flew over 160 departures a day in 2013. By 2025, it flew near 30 a day.

THIS WINTER

A big winter schedule

United now plans near 40 daily departures this winter to 14 places.

THE KEY POINT

Not a hub return

These routes serve local flyers. Cleveland stays a focus market, not a hub.

FOR FLYERS

More nonstop choice

Flyers can skip connections in Chicago or Newark. Nonstop flights save time.

RIVALS

Competition on both routes

Southwest and Frontier already fly to Las Vegas. Frontier and American already fly to Miami.

FLYER ADVICE

Book early

New routes often draw keen buyers. Early booking can lock a fair fare.
