Another option for people hunting the Cape?

A United Airlines plane touched down in Cape Town on Monday becoming the only airline to offer nonstop service from the U.S. to the South African city.

The new flight from Newark Liberty International Airport — that covers more than 7,800 miles — will take 14 hours and 30 minutes on the way there and 15 hours and 55 minutes on the return. The route, on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, represents the sixth longest flight for United.

The flight saves people about four hours each way compared to a connection, according to the airline. Before now, passengers flying to the popular tourist destination of Cape Town had to connect through another airport, often in Europe or Johannesburg.

And not just the Cape. CT has direct connections to a lot of others destinations in Southern Africa.
