United Airlines announced they’ll be ramping back up service to/from Florida with 28 new daily flights to several cities in the Northeast and Midwest. Many of the new routes are to non-hub cities which the airline explains have been added based on customer demand with the current state of travel.
United will taking on JetBlue in Boston with new flights to Tampa (TPA), Orlando (MCO), Ft. Lauderdale (FLL), and Ft. Myers (RSW). In LaGuardia, the airline will also be adding more flights to these same cities attempting to shift business from Delta.
However if you are planning to travel on one of these routes, remember United is not blocking middle seats on flights, whereas both Delta and JetBlue are.

United Airlines today announced plans to add up to 28 daily nonstop flights this winter connecting customers in Boston, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, New York/LaGuardia, Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio to four popular Florida destinations.

Typo. Think you meant to say “remember United is not blocking middle seats”.
