CHICAGO, IL: United Airlines today announced that it will launch a seasonal, Saturday-only service to Grand Cayman from its hub at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport from December 20, 2003 through April 24, 2004. Flights are now available for booking.

The southbound flight will depart Chicago O'Hare on Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. and arrive in Grand Cayman Owen Roberts International Airport at 12:54 p.m. The return flight will also depart on Saturdays from Grand Cayman at 2:25 p.m. and arrive in Chicago at 5:30 p.m.
