In a development for American tourists seeking the charm of Portugal’s Southern Coast, United Airlines announced direct flights from New York to Faro, Portugal, in 2025. This pioneering route marks a significant milestone, as United Airlines will become the first American carrier to offer non-stop services to the sun-drenched Algarve region.
Starting May 16, 2025, the seasonal service will operate four times weekly between New York/Newark airports and Faro Airport, providing access to Portugal's southern coast.
As explained by luxury accommodation specialists Algarve Villa Selection, the new connection represents a game-changing opportunity for American travelers.
"This direct route is transformative for our American guests," says Denise Patterson, Director of Algarve Villa Selection. "We've witnessed growing interest from the U.S. market, and now, with United Airline's direct flights, Americans can seamlessly access our curated collection of premium villas and create unforgettable memories in the Algarve."
The timing couldn't be better for Americans seeking authentic European experiences. The Algarve’s golden beaches, historic towns, and world-class golf courses have long been a favorite with European holidaymakers. Now, with reduced flight times and direct connections, American travelers can discover this Portuguese paradise.
United Airlines’ expansion doesn't stop at Faro. The airline is simultaneously launching routes to Funchal, Madeira, as part of its largest international growth initiative. These new services complement existing Portuguese connections, including daily flights to Lisbon and seasonal routes to Porto and the Azores.
