each airlines’ frequent flier programs. Beginning November
1, 2002, members
of United’s Mileage Plus Program and US Airways’ Dividend
Miles program can
earn miles in their respective programs and class-of-service bonuses
when
they fly on either airline.
United customers will
be able to accrue flight miles on published fares on
all US Airways, US Airways Express and US Airways Shuttle flights
worldwide.
US Airways customers will be able to accrue flight miles on valid
