United Airlines Teams Up With Star Wars

Written by Ashley Ferraro

Calling all Star Wars fans! United Airlines has joined forces with the beloved movie franchise in honor of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Just in time for the release of the concluding film of the Skywalker saga, United will be providing customers with a one of a kind experience both on the ground and in the air.

It begins with the brand new paint job that one of United’s Boeing 737-800 aircrafts will be showing off this month. The design features the mysterious ambiance of the Star Wars galaxy. Special details like the X-wing and TIE fighter starships will be a part of the creation. Most notably, a different colored lightsaber will be displayed on either side of the tail, representing the duality of the Force. The attention to detail United has put forth into this project is truly impressive to both fans and non-fans alike. Even if you’re not too familiar with Star Wars, you can appreciate the airline’s dedication to creating a lasting experience for its customers.

If you think this is all a bit extreme, we still haven’t gotten to the fun part! The airline will also be delivering a unique onboard experience in line with the theme of the film. The headrests will be embellished with the symbols of both the Resistance and the First Order, which act as the films competing factions. Not to mention, special inflight amenity kits will be offered to customers, along with safety demonstration videos featuring characters from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

You’ll even be presented with the Star Wars theme before you board your flight. Expect to hear music from the film throughout your boarding process, and look out for your complementary commemorative pin during the month of December, when the movie will first premiere.

For those who might not be flying anytime soon, don’t worry! You won’t have to entirely miss the exclusive Star Wars experience offered by United. MileagePlus members will have the option to attend the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in either Los Angeles or London. This exciting opportunity may be accessed through MileagePlus Exclusives, which is where members can use those hard earned miles to bid on and purchase products and experiences such as this one.

    Undeniably consider that which you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the net the easiest thing to keep
    in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other people consider issues
    that they plainly don’t recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail
    upon the top as well as defined out the entire thing without having
    side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get
    more. Thank you
