“Our customers who regularly travel between Washington, D.C. and New York — one of the busiest routes in the country — have told us they value convenient flights and a comfortable ride above all else,” said Sarah Murphy, United’s senior vice president of United Express.
United’s daily shuttle flights from Reagan to Newark will depart hourly, at the top of the hour, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. The flights from Newark to Reagan will also depart hourly, at the top of the hour, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
