The First US Airline Carrier Has Landed in the PH, Offers Nonstop Flights

Calling all travelers out there! United Airlines (United) has finally landed in the country after its first-ever United States (US) to Philippines (PH) nonstop flight, marking its first arrival in the country and the start of their daily flight service.

The San Francisco-Manila flight number UA190 arrived early in the morning yesterday, bringing in passengers and cargo from the U.S. The aircraft then returned to the U.S. with passengers from Manila bound for San Francisco the same morning.

This marks the first and only U.S. carrier to fly direct to Manila. United Airlines will be operating daily, offering nonstop flights from Manila to San Francisco and vice versa with their Boeing 777-300ER.

Even though airfares with this airline are not likely to be more budget-friendly, it does provide travelers with an additional choice of airlines for international travel.

Check the flight schedule and book your flights through United's official website.
