In addition, customers are eligible to earn double Mileage Plus bonus miles when travelling roundtrip on qualifying flights on United's new nonstop service from San Francisco to Nagoya between March 26, 2005 and June 11, 2005.

United's new daily nonstop service between San Francisco and Nagoya is scheduled to begin on March 26, 2005, and will be operated with Boeing 777 aircraft. Because of United's code-share agreement with Star Alliance partner All Nippon Airways (and regional carriers Air Nippon and Nakanihon), the Nagoya service will enable United to serve more destinations throughout Japan, with convenient domestic and international connections from Nagoya's brand new Central Japan International Airport - Centrair, opening Feb. 18, 2005. Other Japanese cities made accessible by these partnerships include Fukuoka, Sendai and Sapporo -- all open for sale now on service beginning April 1, 2005 - and Niigata, Nagasaki and Kagoshima - open for sale Feb. 17, 2005 for service beginning April 1, 2005.

United’s inaugural Nagoya service also coincides with the opening of the 2005 Aichi World Expo on March 25, 2005, which is expected to bring increased international passenger traffic to the region.
