Is Continental Airlines a part of Star Alliance already??? Does it mean we can use UAL miles to redeem Continental Airlines flight??? Why no announcement yet??? So excited!!!
United used to have a partnership with Continental Connection which operated the intra-Florida flights. You used to be able to earn miles on those flights, provided you booked them as United code share flights. That partnership has since ended.
However, you still see those flights on united.com since United doesn't serve Key West and united.com will still try to get you to your destination (regardless of carrier). I've booked America West flights (pre-merger) on united.com many times (they always came out as paper tickets though).
You will be able to earn OnePass miles for the flights operated by Continental. You will not yet earn OnePass miles from UA or other Star Alliance flights.
