United Airlines Announces It Will Fly Out of Hilton Head Island. Here's Where You Can Go
By Katherine Kokal/ News/ Local/ The Island Packet/ islandpacket.com

"The Hilton Head Island Airport announced Monday that United Airlines will begin flying in and out of the airport starting in spring 2019.


The national airline will run seasonal service to United “hub airports” in Washington, D.C., Chicago and New York City, Beaufort County airports Director John Rembold said at a news conference.

He said the new service will “serve as an important business opportunity for our region and also help attract new tourists to the area.”

Here’s what’s coming in 2019:

  • Starting on March 31, United will operate nonstop flights from Hilton Head Island to Washington Dulles International Airport two times a day.
  • Starting on April 6, United will operate flights to Chicago O’Hare International Airport two times a week.
  • Also on April 6, United will begin offering flights to New York/Newark Liberty International airport once per week.
Rembold said the partnership with United Airlines has been in the works around 18 months.

Hilton Head Mayor David Bennett said he was “nearly speechless” when the partnership with United was confirmed.

“I’m excited about the future,” he said. “I’m excited to see what’s next.”

The airport, which is on the north end of Hilton Head, recently finished its runway expansion project. Lengthening the runway from 4,300 feet to 5,000 feet means larger jets can land there......"


American Airlines began jet service to HHI in July, 2018.

This news came just in time, as i looking at flights for a trip to Hilton Head next spring. At first glance the United flights direct to Hilton Head look a bit more expense than going into nearby airports like Savanah. Will need to price everything out, and weight the convenience factor as well.
