Germanwings and United Airlines announce codeshare

Germanwings and United Airlines have entered into a codeshare agreement. The German airline will now offer codeshare flights as feeders for United Airlines’ long-haul flights from London, Berlin or Hamburg. The Germanwings connections involved will now also show a UA flight number from United Airlines in addition to the familiar 4U Germanwings number.

These codeshare flights can be booked on united.com and in travel agencies. They are issued on a joint ticket with the long-haul flight and will allow passengers to continue their journey to the USA seamlessly.

Germanwings passengers will thus be able to earn air miles under United’s MileagePlus program every time they book feeders from travel agencies or via www.united.com. Inversely, MileagePlus travellers can exchange the air miles they have earned for flights across the entire Germanwings route network.

The partnership between the two airlines is to be consolidated further over the coming months, to offer passengers further advantages and make transatlantic trips with Germanwings and United Airlines even easier.
