Ted, United Airlines' Low-Fare Service, Offers Ted Flyers an Easy Way to Earn up to 2,000 Bonus Miles for Ted Travels This Spring, in a Special Birthday Offer
CHICAGO, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ted(SM), United's low-fare service, turns 2 years old on Feb. 12. To celebrate, Ted customers get the presents -- an easy way to earn up to 2,000 bonus miles between Feb. 12 and May 12.*
"With the recent addition of Los Cabos, Cancun and West Palm Beach flights into Ted's schedule, customers have more opportunity to earn bonus miles," said Sean Donohue, United's vice president of Operational Services, United Express and Ted. "Being fully integrated into United's Mileage Plus® program and its extensive route network enables Ted to serve a wide range of customers."
Like most 2-year-olds, Ted had a growth spurt. The fleet has grown 20 percent since Ted launched on Feb. 12, 2004. Ted serves United as a proving ground for new ideas that enhance customer service. It's the launching pad for the industry's first fully automated dual-end jet bridge, coming to Denver.
"Ted remains a thriving part of United and we look forward to another great year," Donohue added.
Ted also provides service from United's hubs in Chicago, Denver, Washington Dulles, San Francisco and Los Angeles to Miami, San Juan, Las Vegas, Reno, Phoenix, Orlando, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Ontario, California, Cabo San Lucas, Chicago Midway and Puerto Vallarta.
