United Airlines launching dedicated travel site with million-mile contest

United Airlines plans to award a million MileagePlus miles to 3 winners of a travel contest the airline launched Tuesday in conjunction with a new travel-related content hub it is developing. The site now under development will over time be a spot for other United travellers to share their travel stories in photos and videos. The new travel-focused website will include not only stories posted by a vast array of United travellers, but also travel tips, destination guides and advice on how to maximise award travel. Drumming up interest in travel, of course, can only help United put more people in airplane seats across its route network — that is if there are seats left to be filled. The carrier has been notching record traffic numbers in recent weeks as it rapidly expands the number of markets served by its network. <br/>
