Customers can now purchase tickets and earn miles to even more destinations in Africa and Europe when booking travel on code-share flights between United and
future Star Alliance member, South African Airways.
United and South African Airways frequent fliers began earning miles on each other’s flights in November 2005. In April when South African Airways joins the Star
Alliance, Mileage Plus members will earn elite benefits including Elite Qualifying Miles, which are miles that count toward elite status, and the ability to redeem their miles
for award travel on South African.
United's customers will be able to book on South African Airways flights between Washington-Dulles and Johannesburg and connecting flights between Johannesburg
and Cape Town, Durban, East London or Port Elizabeth in South Africa. Customers will also be able to connect onto South African Airways from the United States via
Europe on flights between London and Johannesburg; London and Cape Town; Frankfurt and Johannesburg; Frankfurt and Cape Town; or Paris and Johannesburg.
South African Airways customers will be able to book on United flights between Washington-Dulles and Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco or
