United Economy Plus Annual Pass for Flights Operated by Continental?
Hi All -
Long time, first time. I am on the road 100% for work. Stay in hotel every night, but only book 2 RTs a month. Since I wasn't going to hit elite anytime soon, I purchased the UA Economy Pluss annual pass. I am now in a city where Continental operates all the flights in and out, making my $400 out of pocket pass worthless. Any news on when/if we will be able to use the UA pass when booking CO? Thanks much for the help.

Welcome to FlyerTalk!!
No announcement yet on that benefit. It could happen on Customer Day 1 (unlikely), later this year just because (slightly more likely) or not until next year when the legacy CO fleet starts to get more rows with the increased legroom.

You will have status in a little over 6 months with 25 segments. Maybe less if you are making connections (more segments) or are traveling more than a thousand miles per trip.
Jeff S should send you a thank you card.

united.com says Continental will start in 2012 and be a multiyear project.

Just curious, what city are you flying out of served by CO that UA doesn't serve? The reason I ask is because if UA doesn't serve that city, what kind of aircraft is CO using there? If it's those ER4's, then E+ won't be available anyway (nor will it be available on any aircraft in the combined UA fleet with 50 (or less) seats).
