\u00b7   United to launch new nonstop flights between New York\/Newark and Dubai in March 2023; connecting customers through Dubai to more than 100 new destinations on Emirates and flydubai<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates and United announced a historic commercial agreement today that will enhance each airline\u2019s network and give their customers easier access to hundreds of new destinations* within the United States and around the world.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston – three of the biggest business hubs in the U.S \u2013 will be able to easily connect onto United flights<\/a> to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the eight other U.S. airports served by Emirates \u2013 Boston, Dallas, LA, Miami, JFK, Orlando, Seattle and Washington DC \u2013 both airlines will have an interline arrangement in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United will launch a new direct flight between Newark and Dubai starting in March 2023 \u2013 from there, customers will be able to travel on Emirates or its sister airline flydubai to more than 100 cities. Tickets for United\u2019s new Dubai flight are now on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates and United announced their agreement today at a ceremonial event at Dulles International Airport, hosted by United CEO Scott Kirby and Emirates President Sir Tim Clark, featuring United and Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft and flight crews from each carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline<\/strong> said<\/strong>: \u201cTwo of the biggest, and best-known airlines in the world are joining hands to fly people better to more places, at a time when travel demand is rebounding with a vengeance. It\u2019s a significant partnership that will unlock tremendous consumer benefit and bring the United Arab Emirates and the United States even closer. We welcome United\u2019s return to Dubai next year, where our hub Dubai essentially becomes a gateway for United to reach Asia, Africa and the Middle East via the combined network of Emirates and flydubai. We look forward to developing our partnership with United for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines said<\/strong>: \u201cThis agreement unites two iconic, flag carrier airlines who share a common commitment to creating the best customer experience in the skies. United\u2019s new flight to Dubai and our complementary networks will make global travel easier for millions of our customers, helping boost local economies and strengthen cultural ties. This is a proud moment for both United and Emirates employees, and I look forward to our journey together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers of both airlines can soon book these connecting flights on a single ticket \u2013 making check-in and luggage transfer faster and easier. For example \u2013 travelers will be able to visit United.com or use the United app to book a flight from New York\/Newark to Karachi, Pakistan or go to Emirates.com to book a flight from Dubai to Atlanta or Honolulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This agreement will also give the loyalty program members of both airlines more opportunities for more rewards: Emirates Skywards members can soon earn miles when they travel on United operated flights, and United Mileage Plus members flying on United\u2019s New York\/Newark to Dubai flight will be able to earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible customers travelling on codeshare flights will also soon enjoy access to Emirates and United lounges. More details on frequent flyer awards and lounge sharing benefits will be communicated in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both airlines have recently announced significant investments in the customer experience. Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft as part of a $2 billion effort that includes elevated meal choices, a brand-new vegan menu, a \u2018cinema in the sky\u2019 experience, cabin interior upgrades, and sustainable choices. At United, the airline will add 500 new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to its fleet with a focus on a new signature interior that includes seat-back screens in every seat, larger overhead bins, Bluetooth connectivity throughout, and the industry\u2019s fastest available in-flight WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
