United Airlines to Connect Newark and St. Croix with New Direct Flights
Starting October 2026, United Airlines will bring Northeast travelers closer to Caribbean paradise, unveiling its first direct flights from Newark to St. Croix.
Connecting Cultures
With its launch of non-stop Saturday flights from Newark to St. Croix beginning October 31, 2026, United Airlines becomes the first to offer this direct path to the U.S. Virgin Islands from New York City. Travelers will enjoy a quick journey aboard United鈥檚 efficient Boeing 737-700, ready to unwind on the island's pristine beaches by afternoon.
An Island of Scenic Wonders
St. Croix boasts more than just sandy shores; it's a canvas of vibrant turquoise waters and lush rainforests, offering rich historical insights amid stunning geographical landmarks like the easternmost U.S. point, Point Udall. With this new service, travelers can explore these treasures passport-free.
Broader Horizons
This new route elevates United's Caribbean portfolio to 23 destinations from Newark. Tom Kozlowski of United Airlines highlights this as another milestone in expanding travelers' access to the region鈥檚 vibrant cultures and landscapes.
