Dec 19, 2024, 3:54 PM

If you have someone on your Christmas list and you just can’t figure out what to get them, how about a vacation in Rome, Italy?!

United Airlines announced today (Dec. 19) that it’s adding nonstop flights to six new destinations from Denver International Airport, including the airport’s first-ever flight to Rome.

The new seasonal service to Rome will begin on May 1 and tickets for the new flights are available now.

United will also add five new domestic routes and a new route to Canada. New domestic service to Peoria, Illinois will start in late March. Flights to Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada will launch on May 15. Flights to Buffalo, New York, Redding, California, and Wilmington, North Carolina will begin by the end of May. This is the first time nonstop flights to Redding and Wilmington will be available from DIA.
