Passengers on Continental flights can benefit from our frequent flyer program, where high mileage levels enable members traveling either in BusinessFirst or Economy to earn generous travel rewards. OnePass members can earn and redeem mileage points with Continental and a global network of travel companies including its Star Alliance partners and other major airlines, car rental and hotel companies.

 

United Mileage Plus®

Mileage Plus is the award-winning frequent flyer program from United. Members earn miles by flying United, United Express or Star Alliance airlines and by purchasing products or services from more than 100 participating partners in over 10’000 locations worldwide. Members redeem miles for travel and other unique awards. Mileage Plus offers members the most extensive selection of award travel destinations including over 800 cities in more than 139 countries.

The two frequent flyer programs provide full reciprocity with the travel reward programs of the other Star Alliance members. Members can earn and redeem frequent flyer points with all Star Alliance airlines and can benefit from flight upgrade opportunities across the network.

You will now begin to experience changes to the travel benefits and rewards as we integrate the Continental OnePass and United Mileage Plus programs. And while the two award-winning programs will continue to operate separately in 2011, we will be working hard to provide our members with a single world-class frequent flyer program by 2012.

We reserves the right to modify or discontinue the OnePass and/or Mileage Plus program in accordance with the member’s guide, which will be mailed to you upon request and is accessible at continental.com and/or united.com.
