France is one of United Airlines' key European markets, with nonstop service from two French airports — Paris Charles de Gaulle and Nice Côte d'Azur — to multiple US hubs. United has steadily expanded its French network, growing from 315 flights to Paris in 2021 to more than 700 by 2025, and adding seasonal service to Nice from both Newark and Washington D.C. This page covers the France reservations number, Paris CDG and Nice terminal information, all nonstop routes, and FAQs including why Air France is not a United partner.

Nonstop Routes from Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE)
United Airlines has expanded rapidly at Nice, France's third-largest airport. For summer 2026, United is offering 33% more seats between Nice and the United States compared with 2024, reflecting strong demand for direct access to the Côte d'Azur.

Both Nice routes are operated with Boeing 767-300 aircraft featuring Polaris business class. The Washington–Nice service launched in 2025 and returns for summer 2026 — United is the only airline operating this city pair nonstop. Flight time from Newark to Nice is approximately 8 hours 15 minutes; from Washington Dulles approximately 9 hours. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) welcomed a record 15.23 million passengers in 2025, with regular long-haul traffic growing 5.8%.
Airport Terminal Information
| Airport | Terminal | Getting there |
| Paris CDG (CDG) | Terminal 1 | RER B to « Aéroport CDG 1 » station; CDGVal automated train from other terminals; 25 km north of central Paris |
| Nice (NCE) | Terminal 2 | Tram T2 from Nice city centre; 6 km from Promenade des Anglais; taxi approx. 15 min from central Nice |
Paris CDG Terminal 1 — United shares Terminal 1 with other Star Alliance carriers. The terminal has a distinctive circular « octopus » design and underwent a major €250 million renovation completed in 2023, including a new junction building connecting Satellites 1, 2, and 3. Take the RER B train to the « Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 » station (not CDG 2, which serves Terminal 2). If arriving by CDGVal automated shuttle from Terminal 2, exit at the Terminal 1 stop.
Important for US-bound passengers: additional TSA security screening is conducted at the gate before US-bound departures. This can add 20–30 minutes to the boarding process. Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure. The Star Alliance Lounge in Terminal 1 is available to eligible passengers, including Polaris business class and Star Alliance Gold members.

Frequently Asked Questions — United Airlines France
Is Air France a partner of United Airlines?
No. Air France is a member of the SkyTeam alliance (alongside Delta, KLM, and others), while United Airlines is a founding member of Star Alliance. They are direct competitors on US–France transatlantic routes. You cannot earn or redeem MileagePlus miles on Air France flights, and Air France tickets cannot be managed through United. For Star Alliance connections within Europe from Paris, consider Lufthansa (via Frankfurt/Munich), Swiss (via Zurich), or Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul).
Which terminal at Paris CDG?
Terminal 1. This is important because CDG has three main terminal complexes, and they are far apart. Do not go to Terminal 2 (Air France/SkyTeam hub) or Terminal 3 (budget carriers). Take the RER B to « Aéroport CDG 1 » — this is the first of the two CDG RER stations. If you arrive at CDG 2 by mistake, take the CDGVal shuttle to Terminal 1 (about 8 minutes). Terminal 1 was renovated in 2023 and features a new junction building linking all satellites.
Is there a United lounge at Paris CDG?
United does not operate a dedicated United Club at CDG. However, eligible passengers — including Polaris business class travellers, Star Alliance Gold members, and United Club cardholders — can access the Star Alliance Lounge in Terminal 1. This is a shared facility used by all Star Alliance carriers operating from CDG Terminal 1.
Can I fly United from Paris Orly?
No. United Airlines operates exclusively from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). Paris Orly (ORY) is used primarily by domestic carriers, budget airlines, and some European services. If you have a connecting flight at Orly, you will need to transfer between airports — allow at least 3–4 hours for the inter-airport transfer (via OrlyVal + RER B, or by taxi/ride-share, approximately 60–90 minutes depending on traffic).
Is the Washington–Nice route year-round?
No. The Washington Dulles (IAD) – Nice (NCE) route is seasonal, operating from May 21 to September 22, 2026, with four weekly flights (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday). This route first launched in summer 2025 and returns for 2026 due to strong demand. United is the only airline offering nonstop service on this city pair. The Newark–Nice route also operates seasonally, typically from spring through autumn. Outside these periods, connections via United's US hubs or Paris CDG are available.
Can I pay in euros (EUR)?
Yes. When booking on united.com/fr/fr (the French version of the website), fares are displayed in EUR. You can pay with European credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). Cartes Bancaires (CB) issued in France are accepted.
How do I get from Paris city centre to CDG Terminal 1?
The most reliable option is the RER B train from central Paris (Gare du Nord, Châtelet–Les Halles, or Denfert-Rochereau). Exit at « Aéroport CDG 1 » — this is the first CDG stop, directly serving Terminal 1. Journey time is approximately 35 minutes from Gare du Nord. Alternatively, you can take a taxi (approximately €55 flat rate from Paris to CDG, mandated by regulation) or a ride-share service. The CDG Express direct train connecting Gare de l'Est with CDG Terminal 2 is also an option, but requires a CDGVal shuttle transfer to Terminal 1.
