Andrew Nocella
Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at United Airlines
Thanks, Brett. First quarter top line revenues of $11.4 billion, finished consistent with our updated guidance of up 51% versus 2022. TRASM was up 22.5% year-over-year, while we were below our initial guidance, we expect that our TRASM performance in the first quarter will be top-tier. As expected, other revenues in the quarter, while strong, are growing at a slower rate than passenger revenues. The opposite trend we saw last year and over the course of the pandemic. While cargo revenue declined 37% year-over-year, it remains 39% above the same period in 2019.
MileagePlus other revenue had yet another strong quarter and was up 25% year-over-year, driven by our strategic partnership with Chase. United's credit card continued to set records in Q1 including the highest first quarter ever for card spend, new accounts, up over 30% year-over-year and account attrition near historic lows. We also welcome Richard Nunn to the United team as the new CEO of MileagePlus.
As Scott indicated, we believe we're seeing different revenue seasonality for the United network post-pandemic, and that change to impact our relative margin in Q1. New seasonality positively impacted March through October 2022, where new remote work schedule simulated business, particularly premium leisure. Ultimately, if these trends continue, we expect to be able to operate a more consistent level of capacity between March and October in future years.
However, we believe the new seasonality negatively impacted Q1 in January or February, along with the first halves in November and December. With United's relatively small presence in the Caribbean and Florida where demand is usually strong in Q1 and over the winter months. The United network is more reliant on business traffic that is not fully recover to pre-pandemic volumes in these periods.
United's global network and East-West trends are simply better aligned to March through October, post-pandemic where leisure and premium leisure business compensates for less traditional business traffic. As we head into Q2 2023, we are tracking ahead of 2022 in all the ways that we measure business traffic, a really good sign for revenue momentum. While it's still early on, we do see corporate business for May and June tracking well ahead of the previous months at this time.
The business traffic rebound we're seeing is strongest in global long-haul markets, where a video conference is not a substitute for an in-person meeting. The recent banking scare did initiate a slowdown in demand across multiple customer types in the quarter. Impact on business demand for domestic line was the most significant, impact on domestic leisure was smaller and impact over on overall international demand was actually minimal. In the weeks after the scare, we saw business demand relative to the same period of 2019, declined by 8 points after steady progress experienced to the quarter to that point. This trend has since reversed back to pre-banking scare levels.
In Q2, we expect total revenue to be up 14% to 16% versus the second quarter of 2022 with capacity up approximately 18.5%. Our expectations for revenue in the second quarter continued to show strength with approximately 8% to 10% growth in domestic revenues and almost 30% for international. Second quarter bookings and revenues do look good versus the same point in 2022 with booked deals up 13% and 31% above 2019, respectively.
For 2023, we expect to expand international flying by approximately twice the rate of domestic leaning into the favorable supply-demand balance that we expect. We'll be focused on extending United's leading position across the Atlantic and Asia and the South Pacific. We believe this capacity deployment plan will set us up to meet our financial objectives given the stronger revenue outlook we are seeing for international flying and the rebound in Polaris Cabin.
We will also pass two critical milestones by this summer with all United international wide-body jets having the latest generation Polaris seat and a premium plus cabin. While further return to corporate business will help profitability in all quarters, we're not assuming that will occur in our 2023 revenue outlook. United scheduled capacity this summer is up 39% in the Atlantic, but industry capacity excluding United is estimated to be down about 1%.
United will operate an average of 207 daily flights across the Atlantic this summer. Across the Pacific, United plans to be up 14% excluding China with industry capacity down about 7% both versus 2019. Overall, international ASMs will be 46% of United's capacity this summer versus 43% in 2019. Yesterday, we announced another set of capacity increases to the South Pacific ideally time for the Southern summer later this year. These include the first-ever non-stop service from San Francisco to Christchurch and new service from Los Angeles to Auckland in partnership with Air New Zealand and to Los Angeles to Brisbane, we will connect to our new partner Virgin Australia.
Rebuilding connectivity back to our original 2019 standards in our Mid-Con hubs in Dallas will also be a long-term focus for our domestic line. The loss of regional jets during the pandemic without mainline jets to backfill them cause connectivity to suffer. Peak bank sizes at our high flow hubs are down 10% to 20% versus 2019.
We were able to build connectivity and margins in 2018 and 2019 when we increased bank size connectivity, and we expect to execute a similar strategy in 2023 and 2024. However, this time around, we'll do it with the appropriately sized 737 jets instead of single-class regional jets. As requested by the FAA, we've reduced our planned flights from New York City this summer, including two and from Newark. We believe this will be the first time in years that Newark will operate within the airport's capacity abilities in most hours and consistent with the slot allocations. We're optimistic that between the new terminals and capacity consistent with the runway's capabilities, the customer experience will improve dramatically, and we appreciate the partnership with the FAA to make this happen.
United will gain up to 17 new mainline gates in Terminal A and Newark this summer versus 2022, which will improve Newark's reliability and customer experience. Along with the new Newark gates, we will open a new United Club in Terminal A and in Terminal C later this year, adding 38,000 square feet and will be up 161% in club space relative to 2019.
As impressive as that club space measurement as in Newark, our club members in Denver will experience an opening of three United Clubs over the next year that include a total of 97,000 square feet, a 149% increase versus 2019. Construction of our new gates in Denver is also almost complete and will have 90 gates up from 66 we had in 2019, which we expect will allow us to dramatically increase bank sizes and connectivity in 2024 and 2025.
At United, we remain focused on our high ground, structural strengths focused on global long haul, correcting connectivity issues in our Mid-Con hubs that surfaced during the pandemic and, of course, gauge, increases that are consistent with our large hub markets. Our capacity plan for this year remains in place without adjustment as we operate with strong operational results.
With that, I wanted to say thanks to the entire United team, and I'll turn it over to Gerry.
