United Airlines Offers Advice to Customers Affected by Forecasted East Coast
Snowstorm and Issues Travel Waiver

--Use United's travel waiver to adjust travel plans; Check flight status before
going to the airport; Log on to united.com to change an itinerary

CHICAGO, Dec 18, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- As a result of the
significant snowfall expected along the eastern seaboard, United Airlines is
proactively canceling scheduled flights on Saturday, Dec. 19, at several East
Coast airports. United also anticipates departure delays on trans-Atlantic and
trans-Pacific flights scheduled to arrive at Washington Dulles.

United strongly encourages all customers to verify the status of their flights at
united.com or via United reservations at 1-800-UNITED-1 before going to the
airport.

Additionally, United urges travelers flying to, from or through the mid-Atlantic
and northeast to take advantage of the airline's travel waiver, as certain change
fees have been waived for them.

Customers may make changes to their itineraries via united.com or by calling
United reservations or their travel agencies. All changes must be made by
midnight of the customer's original travel date. Rescheduled travel may be
subject to higher fares if it does not meet original rule and booking-code
restrictions or is a new itinerary.

The revised ticketing policies apply to all tickets purchased Dec. 18, 2009, or
earlier, for travel Dec. 18-20, to, from and through Connecticut, D.C.,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia on any
United, United Express or United code-share flight. Origin and destination cities
must remain the same, and rescheduled travel must be completed within seven days
of original travel date.

Customers with canceled flights are eligible for a full refund.

United will continue to monitor the situation and adjust ticketing policies on
united.com.
