United Airlines today launched a first-of-its kind flight schedule to make it easier for Chicago Bears fans to travel to every away game this season. For the first time ever, the airline is adjusting departure times of six flights so fans have the option to fly home the same night as away games. United is also flying larger planes on two routes and adding an additional nonstop flight between O’Hare and London’s Heathrow Airport for the Week 6 Bears/Jaguars game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – giving fans four total nonstop flight options to get to London.

According to data from the NFL, Chicago Bears fans are among the most dedicated road warriors in the league; more than 76,000 Bears fans traveled to away games during the 2023-24 season.
United Airlines has been the official airline of the Chicago Bears for more than 50 years, flying the team to more than 350 games and making it easier for thousands of fans to cheer on the Bears on the road every year. The two organizations consistently partner for community engagements in the Chicago area including earlier this summer, when Chicago Bears Tight End Cole Kmet worked alongside the airline’s Special Olympics Service Ambassadors for the day to help drive awareness of the organization’s travel needs.
