Under the expanded deal, passengers can fly to six new destinations after connecting in Orlando or Fort Lauderdale on flights from Brazil.

The six new destinations are Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, San Francisco, Washington DC and Los Angeles. Beginning May 10, passengers will be able to make one-stop connections to the above destinations with a single ticket.

The updated partnership between the two airline companies was built on their existing codeshare routes to Houston and Newark.

André Mercadante, Azul’s director of alliances, planning and route management, said the expansion of the agreement with United “accelerates the carrier’s international presence, and now our customers will be able to leave our hubs and reach even more great cities with a single ticket.”
