United Airlines & Eurowings discover begin codeshare agreement

Good news for passengers looking for varied flight options between Frankfurt Airport and North America as United Airlines and Eurowings Discover launched their codeshare partnership last week. Under the newly minted collaboration, United Airlines will place its code on different routes that Eurowings Discover will operate. The US Department of Transportation approved the codeshare agreement on February 22nd, and the deal went live earlier last week on March 8th. The United Airlines code will be available on all Eurowings Discover flights from and to North America, consisting of Tampa Bay, Fort Myers, Orlando, Salk Lake City, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Anchorage. With that many flight services offered, passengers have more versatile booking options to, from, and within the US. Passengers will also find it easier to clock in their United MileagePlus points as Eurowings Discover is also integrated into the loyalty programs of its new Star Alliance codeshare partner. Redeeming MileagePlus points when booking Eurowings Discover flights is also possible for passengers. With all the long-haul flights offered under this codeshare agreement, the loyalty benefits are certainly a win-win for passengers. The German leisure carrier is also expected to be integrated into the loyalty program of COPA Airlines reasonably soon.<br/>
