United Airlines is now the first US carrier to fly nonstop to Galicia, the green Atlantic corner of Spain that has spent more than a millennium being a destination and never a hub.<\/p>\n<p>For United it is a small win \u2014 three weekly flights \u2014 but a strategically rich one.

United&#8217;s three-times-weekly direct from Newark cuts a day off that journey and \u2014 more importantly \u2014 opens the city to American leisure travel that previously chose Lisbon or Porto instead.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1932784468  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:xr2B.be6e\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/santiago-de-compostela-cathedral-pilgrim-route-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Santiago de Compostela cathedral west facade\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Santiago de Compostela cathedral \u2014 endpoint of the Camino pilgrim routes since the 9th century, and now reachable from the United States in a single flight.

The Boeing 787-9 is the aircraft that finally made smaller European destinations viable from the US East Coast. It burns roughly 20 percent less fuel than the 767s it replaces, carries 257 passengers in three classes, and reaches secondary cities like Lisbon, Marseille, Nice, Bilbao and now Santiago with margin to spare. United&#8217;s transatlantic strategy under CEO Scott Kirby has been to push 787s into exactly these kinds of markets \u2014 small destinations with high yields and limited competition \u2014 and to leave Lufthansa, KLM and Air France to fight over Frankfurt and Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Camino has gone global<\/h2>\n<p>The Camino de Santiago \u2014 the medieval pilgrimage network whose multiple routes all converge on the cathedral \u2014 has been having a quiet renaissance. The Cathedral&#8217;s Pilgrim&#8217;s Office certified over 446,000 official pilgrim arrivals in 2024, up from 178,000 ten years earlier. American pilgrims make up roughly 5 percent of that figure but spend almost three times as much per capita as European arrivals. The economic case for an American airline to fly direct was, at some point, going to win.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;Santiago de Compostela is exactly the kind of destination the 787 was built for.

United alone is launching nine new European routes this season \u2014 including Faro (Portugal), Nuuk (Greenland), Palermo (Italy), Bilbao (Spain), Funchal (Madeira) and Cluj-Napoca (Romania). Delta is adding Catania, Naples and a winter Reykjavik. American is moving the JFK\u2013Naples route to year-round.<\/p>\n<p>It is a market shaped by three factors: the post-pandemic European leisure boom, the lingering aircraft-delivery delays that have constrained capacity on bigger routes, and the simple math of the Dreamliner. Santiago is one snapshot of a much bigger picture. American passengers who used to fly Madrid\u2013rail\u2013Santiago will now fly Newark\u2013Santiago direct.
