United to become TPA's 4th nonstop carrier to LAX

On Oct. 31, United Airlines will begin nonstop daily flights from Tampa to LAX, joining Alaska Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines with the service.

The news comes just days after American Airlines announced their new service to LAX scheduled to launch Oct. 7. More West Coast service has been long coveted at Tampa International Airport, not only for point-to-point convenience but also for the connections this service opens up to Asia and the Pacific.
