United operate flights between Vancouver and Chicago (O'Hare), Denver, Houston (Intercontinental), Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, and Washington DC (Dulles), as well as to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil via Houston.

In ski season, United offers a package ticket to the Powder King ski resort in conjunction with BC Rail, which includes air transport from Chicago to Prince George and rail transport from Prince George to the resort.

When it absorbed Capital Airlines in 1961, United acquired seven DHBC-2 Heron 3B aircraft; these were used for several years more on former Capital routes, but were sold off between 1966 and 1968.
