    Continental & United Hope to Offer “Reciprocal Elite Status”

    Now that Continental Airlines is part of the Star Alliance, OnePass Elite members have access to more lounges, perks in more cities, and perhaps most importantly, a new connection with United Airlines.

    By the middle of 2010, the two major carriers hope to implement “reciprocal Elite access to upgrades and priority seating on both airlines…” This means that “OnePass Elite members will have access to unlimited domestic upgrades as well as priority seating in United’s Economy Plus cabin on purchased tickets when space is available.” Visit Continental Airlines for more details.

    The response to United’s new “free unlimited domestic upgrades” hasn’t been entirely positive. There are those that say it will actually make it more difficult (or almost impossible in some cases) to actually get an upgrade. However, as a new perk, does it make things more appealing for Continental Airlines OnePass Elite members? Let us know where you stand.
