United Airlines will suspend several domestic and transborder Canadian routes next month, though the cuts are not as deep as I originally anticipated.

Only one city, Mammoth Lakes, California, will lose service completely. Other cities will see cuts from select hubs, but maintain at least one link on United. Overall, United plans to reduce U.S. and Canada flights by 42% versus April 2019.

Here's a list of route suspensions sorted by hub. The third "remaining" column indicates which other hubs will continue to service the suspended route. For simplicity purposes, I am only using airport codes. You can look those up here.

CONCLUSION

These routes suspensions are not surprise. In fact, I'm surprised they are not deeper considering how dire load factors and future bookings have been. United has told its employees that it will make adjustments to this schedule according to current events, including potential curfews and domestic flights bans.

If your schedule has been impacted, United will automatically rebook you on an alternate route. If you are not happy with the auto rebooking, you can call United to discuss options. Do note that you likely won't be eligible for a refund unless you are willing to wait 12 month for it.
