xCruzo Brief
United Airlines is set to resume the first nonstop US-to-Japan service to New Chitose Airport (CTS) in Sapporo, launching flights from San Francisco International (SFO) this December. Operated three times per week with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, UA 234 departs SFO at 10:30 AM and arrives CTS at 2:15 PM (+1 day), while UA 235 leaves CTS at 4:15 PM and lands in SFO at 8:20 AM (same day). The 4,811-mile (7,741 km) route is described as the only nonstop option to Japan’s northernmost island from the states. Air Canada is also starting CTS service from Vancouver ahead of United, as SFO–CTS bypasses typical layovers via Tokyo airports.
