Does TED earn e-upgrades
 

With the usual apologies for not finding this using the (non-existant) search function:

I've got my first TED flight this week (R/T IAD-LAS). Does it earn 500-mile e-upgrades? If it makes any difference, my flights have a UA # (not Ted???). Is my assumption that I at least get the 100% mileage bonus as a 1P correct?

At least it isn't the one-stop America West routing either very early or very late!

Yes, you will earn the 500-mile e-upgrades as well as your 100% mileage bonus for being 1P/1K/UGS. All Ted flights have UA flight numbers. At the moment I believe the flight range is UA 1400-1599 and officially these flights are "operated by Ted for United" even though Ted doesn't have its own operating certificate and is not a separate airline. That is why Ted flights are treated as UA flights and not codeshare.

Yepola!

I did a MR last year that was a mixed ted/ua itin and it put me over 1K, the CR-1's and more e500s.

Thanks!
 

for the speedy replies...and the favorable information!

A MR on TED?......now that is dedication!

I can certainly think of a few more descriptive words for it...

Either that or no 1K, think about it.

Some people do a USA-SIN MR in Economy for 1K.

TED should be a cakewalk. :D

It's actually "Operated by United For Ted" because UA uses its operating certificate for Ted.

Oh, that's right. Thanks for the correction.

Ted'll let you earn them...He just won't let you spend them! :mad:
