This service complements United's daily service between San Francisco-Shanghai and San Francisco-Beijing and is the result of an updated agreement between the governments of the United States and China to increase flights between the two countries.
United says it now has the largest and most diversified international route network among U.S. airlines, offering nonstop service to 134 international destinations in 67 countries and offering flights to more destinations across the Atlantic and Pacific than all U.S. airlines combined.
