United Toots its Horn May 22, 2008

You may have seen the press release issued by United Mileage Plus tooting its horn for setting a frequent flyer redemption record. We were wondering which programs United Mileage Plus was comparing itself to or if indeed was it comparing itself to itself. Yes, the 1999 award figures are record figures on the previous year for the program but American AAdvantage still reigns as being the most generous when it comes to awards given as a percentage of revenue passenger miles. Had United Mileage Plus given away 460,000 more awards it would have tied with American AAdvantage.
