United’s Mileage Plus Frequent Flyers Soar with Two New Awards

One-Way Awards and Miles & Money Awards Give Frequent Flyers Flexibility

CHICAGO, Feb. 1, 2010 — Starting today, United’s Mileage Plus® frequent flyers can book one-way flight awards or use a combination of miles and money for a roundtrip flight, hotel stay, or car rental. With Mileage Plus’ new One-Way Awards and Miles & Money Awards, members have more ways to use miles and greater flexibility than ever before.

“Our members are looking for more ways to get the most out of their hard-earned miles, and we continue to deliver new awards that enable them to do just that,” said Robert Sahadevan, vice president – Mileage Plus. “Our new One-Way Awards and Miles & Money Awards give our members the flexibility to use their miles – and fewer of them – by providing more options to book the type of travel they want.”

If a member only needs a one-way ticket, Mileage Plus’ One-Way Awards are available for half the miles of a roundtrip award (starting at 12,500 miles for a domestic Saver Award) on United or United Express-operated flights. For members who are low on miles or just looking for more ways to use the miles they have, Miles & Money Awards let them book a roundtrip flight, hotel stay or car rental for fewer miles and make up the difference in cash. For example, members can fly roundtrip for 10,000 miles + $100. *

Today’s new programs combined with our program improvements in the past six months, including the elimination of last-minute award booking fees and the introduction of Hotel and Car Awards, give members even more opportunities to use their Mileage Plus miles.
