What happened
United Airlines announced the addition of two new leisure routes from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE). Nonstop service to Las Vegas (LAS) begins Sept. 24, operating year-round. Nonstop service to Miami (MIA) begins Dec. 3, running only during peak winter months through early April. Both routes will operate on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Tickets go on sale this evening. This expansion is part of United's effort to grow its presence in Cleveland, where it previously operated a hub until 2014. The airline faces competition on both routes from Southwest, Frontier, and American Airlines
