United will launch an exciting new cross-country route out of Palm Springs this winter, bringing its first-ever East Coast connection to the California city.
On December 19, the airline will debut a once-daily service between Washington-Dulles International Airport and Palm Springs International Airport. This winter seasonal flight will run through April 30, 2025, with the following schedule:
Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Palm Springs (PSP): 9 a.m. to 11:40 a.m.
Palm Springs (PSP) to Washington, D.C. (IAD): 1 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
The flight will be roughly five and a half hours long and operated on a Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft with 16 first-class recliner seats and 150 economy seats.
Travelers can book the new flight on United’s website or app. United will offer flights to Palm Springs from a total of six cities: Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and now, Washington, D.C.
United has an extensive seasonal network, offering flights to popular destinations during peak travel times. The airline just kicked off summer seasonal service to Anchorage from its Washington-Dulles hub and will offer flights to popular ski destinations this winter, including Bozeman, Montana, Kalispell, Montana, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
