Summary
United Airlines has changed its MileagePlus pooling policy, allowing pooled miles to be used on partner airlines, including over 40 partners in the Star Alliance. This change makes the program more valuable for United loyalists, especially for long-haul international travel. However, there are still some caveats, such as a 72-hour waiting period to contribute miles and a 24-hour waiting period for miles to be available for use.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
United miles can now be pooled and used on partner airlines, including Lufthansa and Air New Zealand. This change opens up more routes and award booking options for United loyalists. However, the program still has some limitations, such as waiting periods for miles to be available for use.
Somehow, “flexible” miles still require a 72-hour waiting period.
