As we always appreciate the summer weather, December may seem far away. But if you plan to travel to see your family or friends this holiday season, you may want to consider booking earlier than you would normally.

When he was asked to fly later this year, Kirby said that United would remove the flight calendar in order to increase reliability. This is again due to "infrastructure" around aviation, which cannot bear a certain volume of flight. "Unfortunately, there will be fewer seats available throughout the system," said Kirby. "You should probably book early for Christmas."

In December, the airline had planned to return to the same levels observed in 2019, but it now provides a capacity of around 10% of around 10%, according to Kirby. "Even if we have the staff, even if we have the resources to do so, we will be smaller just to make sure that we can cover all the things that are out of our control," he added.
