This article is a travel topic.
United Airlines is a major airline based in the United States and a key member of the Star Alliance network. It is one of the predominant carriers between North America and East Asia, and it also offers numerous flights from the US to Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Mexico, the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia.
Besides its general mainline operations, United offers an ultra-luxurious P.S. Premium Service product on all non-stop flights between New York (JFK) and either Los Angeles or San Francisco. United's now defunct low cost Ted operation has been formally discontinued as of June 2008; however, the former Ted aircraft (all-economy class) will continue to operate in their current configuration well into 2009.
In the summer of 2008, United Airlines announced its new "Travel Options by United" program, which allows passengers to customize their travel by adding convenient services to their itinerary. Among these are Premier Line, providing fast track access through airport lines, and Door-to-Door Baggage Service, where Fedex Express picks up your bag and ships it overnight to your final destination.

In June 2008, United Airlines announced a partnership with Continental Airlines. Once implemented, frequent flier miles can be accrued and spent on either airline interchangeably. However, it may take up to a year for the agreement to go into effect. This will inevitably facilitate better connections between flights.
