We are all familiarized with consumer fidelity programs, and United Airline’s miles is a landmark for the system: fly with United or any of its partner airlines and add up “miles”, that is points, which you can later or exchange for other free flights or free upgrades from coach or economy to business or first. Mymileageplus.
com is part of United Airline’s site, and through it you can manage your account with minimum hassle, plus you can find out about offers, discounts and new partners that are regularly being added to the program, which include hotels, car-rental companies, credit cards and even plain stores, where your purchase also sums miles. At this site you can also purchase tickets and make reservation, with a plus: they will be $10-15 cheaper than getting them from your travel agent. Also interesting about the site is that it will summarize all the kind of information you need to get onboard: how many hours before departure you have to be at the airport, how much baggage you can carry onboard, useful information when travelling with pets and children and so on.
