The schedule

Westbound Jacksonville (JAX) about 5:45 p.m.
Eastbound San Francisco (SFO) about 8:15 a.m.

United plans to fly the route with a Boeing 737-800, the authority said.

“Prior to today’s announcement the Bay Area was one of our largest unserved markets,” Jacksonville Aviation Authority CEO Mark VanLoh said.

Connections to Asia and the Pacific

San Francisco is one of United’s hubs. The authority said the flight is timed so Northeast Florida travelers can connect with one stop to United’s Pacific network, including:

  • Sydney
  • Singapore
  • Hawaii
  • Hong Kong
  • Manila

“With this new route, travelers in Northeast Florida will be able to conveniently reach the West Coast and from there, destinations across the Pacific with United’s leading global route network from our San Francisco hub,” said Mark Weithofer, United’s managing director of domestic network planning.

United already flies nonstop from Jacksonville to its hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Newark and Washington Dulles, the authority said.

What it means for you
