Welcome to this thread to ask your basic, simple questions about the new United Airlines – its operations or its Mileage Plus program, formed from the merger of United and Continental. We know that the airline is complex and we’ve created this thread for new and veteran members to ask those basic questions about the merged, integrated United Airlines, that you think must have an easy answer but just can’t find it or aren’t sure where to look.

These are the two rules for this thread:
1. Use this thread for a simple, basic question. Moderators may move posts to other threads if the question deserves its own thread or if the question is really about United or Continental operating as a separate carrier before the airlines are fully integrated.

2. Any member who can post a constructive, patient answer is welcome to reply.
