United Airlines and ANA Launch Joint e-Ticketing in December
November 19, 2004

A Single Ticket Will Cover One Trip

For Immediate Release

Tokyo, Nov. 19, 2004 -- Next month customers traveling on international trips that include both United- and All Nippon Airways (ANA)-operated flights will be able to use just one electronic ticket (e-ticket) for all trip segments.  Individual ANA and United tickets for departure, return and multi-city segments will no longer be required.

"E-ticketing is essential for ensuring efficient customer service.  E-ticketing is becoming the industry standard in ticket reservations and United remains at the forefront of the transition from paper tickets," said Mark Schwab, United vice president-Pacific.

United has already launched similar agreements with the Star Alliance carriers Air Canada, Lufthansa and US Airways.  ANA is the fourth step toward the completion of a global project which will soon enable customers to travel on the entire Star Alliance network with just one e-ticket. 

United has 1,030 EasyCheck-in kiosks positioned throughout 104 airports for E-ticket customers traveling within the United States or internationally from the United States.  United's EasyCheck-in services includes self-service kiosks, curbside skycap check-in and online check-in.  Also, at most of these airports, travel-ready customers checking bags can take advantage of United's EasyCheck-in Curbside skycap service.  These services free up airport employees to focus on serving customers.
