While much of United Airlines’s presence in the New York area is across the river at Newark, it still retains a few routes to its eastern hubs from LaGuardia Airport in New York City itself. The farthest west of these destinations is Denver, where we’ll be coming from with a staple of the UA narrowbody fleet.
