"United continues to add routes where our customers want to travel, when they want to travel," Brian Znotins, United's vice president of network, said in a statement. "These new flights during Europe's peak-summer travel season will provide additional access to Athens, Barcelona and Lisbon from hundreds of points we serve throughout North America, Latin America and the Caribbean."
United's daily nonstop service between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Athens (ATH) will operate using Boeing 767-300 aircraft, leaving 5:40 p.m. and arriving in Greece at 10:30 a.m. the next day.

United has served Spain for more than 20 years, and this new service complements the airline's existing year-round flights to both Barcelona and Madrid from New York/Newark.
The airline will use Boeing 757-200 aircraft for flights between Washington/Dulles and Lisbon (LIS). Flights will leave D.C. at 5:55 p.m. and arrive in Portugal at 6:20 p.m. the next day. The return trip is scheduled to leave Lisbon at 10:50 a.m. and arriving 2:10 p.m. the same day.
