United Airlines
and Air China today announced the implementation of their recently announced
marketing alliance with the introduction of new
codeshare flights to and from China.
Members of United Airlines' Mileage Plus frequent flyer program and Air
China's Companion frequent flyer program will now be able to earn qualifying frequent flyer miles/kilometers on all United flights and both
carriers' code-share flights, and redeem awards on all United and Air China
flights. Customers will also receive one boarding pass upon check-in for
each segment of their flight. Codeshare flights are available for sale today for
flights on or after October 31, 2003.
Air China customers now have expanded access to all flight segments
operated by United, including its Beijing - Chicago O’Hare - Washington
Dulles route and its Shanghai - San Francisco - Chicago O’Hare route. In
addition, the United Airlines code will now be added to all Air China flights
from Beijing to Los Angeles, New York JFK and San Francisco. Additional codeshare flights will be announced over the coming months.
Customers traveling on itineraries utilizing both United and Air China should
check their travel documents to determine the operating carrier and terminal
for their flight when traveling. They will be provided boarding passes upon
check-in for each part of their journey when checking in with either airline.
For questions on policies and procedures, customers should check with the
operating carrier. |
