There’s good news for business travelers out of South Bend International Airport, looking to travel to Washington, DC.
Daily nonstop service from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to South Bend (SBN) on United Airlines will begin on December 3. Tickets are on-sale now at united.com.
The flight will operate on an Embraer E-175 with 12 United First®, 32 United Economy Plus®, and 26 United Economy® seats. It will depart IAD at 6:00 p.m. arriving in South Bend at 8:00 p.m. and depart SBN at 10:00 a.m. landing in IAD at 11:45 a.m. Dulles is a major hub for international flights on United and partner airlines.
“We are thrilled to have United offer a second destination from SBN,” said SBN CEO and Executive Director Mike Daigle. “The daily service will allow for easy connections to 135 domestic and international markets. For travelers with a final destination of Washington D.C., the Silver Line Metro station at Dulles provides access to trains via an indoor pedestrian walkway from the airport to downtown.”
The United flights to Dulles are expected to be a time-saver and a big convenience for Washington-bound South Bend passengers. Until now, they had to connect through Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis or Charlotte.
