New Way to Get Miles

Filed in archive News , Promos , Smartphones by Rico Mossesgeld on July 13, 2006

United Airlines has just launched Mileage Plus Wireless, an online store that credits mileage miles to customers who buy the products and services it offers.

All major US service providers are represented here, along with some great smartphones like the RIM 7290 and the Motorola Q. Although you'll need to have a Mileage Plus number if you want to see all the models or services available.

Now that the airline is actively encouraging phone usage on the plane, which is nothing bad, I'd like to remind people about cell phone etiquette. Dan Briody has written Ten Commandments on the subject, in a witty way that covers phone use in general.

Thanks to Yahoo for the heads-up.

Add your response to New Way to Get Miles: Response from: Frequent Flier Insider The question is, how much does it cost you to use your phone on the plane ? Response from: Rico First you have consider if such services are available on your airline. Not many carriers feature wireless services, based on the general perception that these can cause interference with the airplane's navigational equipment. I'm not saying that this assumption is wrong. However, as manufacturers and service providers come up with new standards to minimize, or even eliminate this phenomenon, expect onboard wireless services to become standard in a few years. Boeing already has already integrated a connectivity service in some of its newer planes. Unfortunately, I think the prices are too high, and the service is currently only available on Air China, ANA (Japan), Asiana Airlines, China Airlines, El Al (Israel), Etihad (UAE), JAL, Korean Air, Lufthansa, SAS, and Singapore Airlines.
