For lovers of Andalusia and especially of the Costa del Sol there is great news.
The company United Airlines launched a direct flight between Málaga-Costa del Sol airport (AGP) and Newark Liberty (EWR) in New Jersey (New York) on 31 May.
With three flights a week, this new route enables travellers to enjoy both the wonders of the Costa del Sol and the excitement to be found in New York. This new route represents a significant boost for tourism in Andalusia and Málaga, increasing the offer of long-distance destinations and taking advantage of the attraction of the natural surroundings and culture to be found in the region.
The Costa del Sol has become one of the favourite destinations for American tourists in Europe because of attractions including the large number of sunny days per year, magnificent beaches, delicious gastronomy and numerous options for leisure and culture in cities like Málaga and Marbella, which attract so many visitors.
Travellers from New York will also be able to discover historical and artistic treasure in cities like Córdoba, Granada and Seville and enjoy World Heritage Sites like the Alhambra, the Córdoba Mosque and the Reales Alcázares.
The new route is operated by United Airlines flying Boeing 757-200 aircraft which have 169 seats. During the summer season there will be approximately 52 round-trip flights offering a total of about 17,000 seats in both directions.
