Jim Cramer Says the “Big Five Travel” Including United Airlines “Are All Terrific”

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer was bullish on the stock before its earnings report, as he remarked:

“Next, I’m a big believer in the travel theme. From the end of COVID until today, I think it has never left us. Remember, what I always say: we are long on money and short on time, which is why I would buy United Airlines ahead of the quarter, along with Delta, American Express, Booking Holdings, and Marriott. Those are what I’m going to be… talking [aboout] next week, and we call it the big five travel. They tend to trade all together, and they are all terrific.”

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) provides passenger and cargo air transportation through its mainline and regional fleets. In addition, it offers ground handling, flight training, loyalty program, and maintenance services. During the game plan shared on the October 10, 2025, episode, Cramer explained how the company gives a readout on economic conditions, as he commented:

“Wednesday evening, we get arguably the best possible read on this almost dataless economy when trucking giant J.B. Hunt and United Airlines report… United can tell us the difference between the front of the plane, corporate customers who pay a lot of money, and the back, where regular people do their flying.”
