Emirates and United Airlines have launched a new codeshare partnership that enables Emirates customers to easily access over 150 U.S. cities via Chicago, Houston, and San Francisco. The agreement also expands United’s domestic network coverage in the U.S. to complement Emirates’ existing network of 12 points across the country.
The partnership has many customer benefits, including issuing a single ticket, Emirates baggage allowance, and baggage transfers to the final destination. Emirates Skywards and United MileagePlus members can also earn and redeem miles on all flights across each other’s networks.
The interline arrangement unlocks dozens of popular destinations across Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer, Adnan Kazim, expressed his excitement over the partnership and the opportunity to offer more choices to their customers.
Tickets are available to purchase now on emirates.com and through travel agencies. Emirates’ extensive network across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent is more accessible than ever for U.S. travellers.
The expanded partnership with United Airlines is just one of Emirates’ recent moves to improve connectivity and offer more travel options to its customers. With a network of 17 points across the Americas, the Emirates continues to provide exclusive privileges to its 30 million Skywards members worldwide.
