United Airlines is all set to increase its capacity between US and Cancun by deploying its B777-200 three times a day to Mexico. The airline plans to deploy the jumbo 777 replacing the narrowbody aircraft from October-end to November-end, subject to change.
The B777 on the route will have three-class configuration with 234 seats in economy, 102 in economy plus, and 28 in Polaris. This will replace the 179-seat aircraft, providing more than double the capacity per flight.
United Airlines previously used the twin aisle to Cancun from November 2017 to March 2020, then from November-December 2020, as per Cirium data.
Houston to Cancun will be United's shortest international widebody route.
