You'll earn 700 miles on this flight which can be redeemed for award flights (award flights on United start at 8,000 miles) and approximately 900 miles towards elite status (the lowest rung of elite status 25,000 miles).
Correct you are. Thank you for the tip of using United's MilagePlus. So each airline in Star Alliance has their own points and they are not transferable between the partners yet you can earn points towards each program from any one of them? I'm curious why United would be the best choice?
