New York to Valencia and Ibiza: United’s biggest-ever international expansion adds two Spanish firsts
A new nonstop flight from New York is about to make the island of Ibiza easier to reach from America […]
United Airlines will begin flying nonstop flights from New York to Ibiza and Valencia in 2027, marking the airline's biggest-ever international expansion. The new routes, which will use Airbus A321XLR jets, will offer direct flights from Newark to Ibiza four times a week and to Valencia three times a week. This will be the first and only nonstop connection from the United States to Ibiza and Valencia, eliminating the need for a layover in European hubs.
The expansion includes 10 new destinations across Europe and Asia, with Newark identified as the "best Atlantic gateway in the country" by United CEO Scott Kirby. The A321XLR aircraft features United's Polaris business suites, complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi for MileagePlus members, and an Economy Plus cabin with extra legroom. The timing of the flights may raise concerns about potential pressure on tourism and housing in both cities, but Valencia has implemented measures to keep tourism accessible to North American visitors.
