United’s new fleet of Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners are preparing to take flight across oceans and seas with the announcement of its new slew of international routes. These routes will fly the highest number of passengers between New York and Europe compared with all other airlines.

United will serve six global cities with its new fleet of 787-10s, which will join its current slate of the smaller 787-8 and 787-9 planes, making it the world’s only airline to have all three variations of this Boeing model.

Starting in March, United will connect its hub airport of Newark Liberty with Frankfurt (FRA), Germany; Paris (CDG), France; Barcelona (BCN), Spain; Brussels (BRU), Belgium; Dublin (DUB), Ireland; and Tel Aviv (TLV), Israel.

United’s order of 14 new aircraft will also serve domestic routes, including connecting Newark Liberty with Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SOF), both of which began service to the hub cities on Jan. 7.

The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner measures 18 feet longer than the 787-9 and can accommodate 318 passengers on board: 44 seats be the new, fully reclining Polaris seats; 21 will be Premium Plus economy seats; 54 will be Economy Plus seats with extra legroom; and 199 will be standard economy seats.
