United Airlines Frequent Flyers Can Now Use Miles for Cruises

United Airlines, a subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc., announced Monday that members of its MileagePlus loyalty program can use accumulated miles, or a combination of miles and points, to take a cruise using United Cruises. United Cruises was launched in 2011.

United is offering its cruise-travel programs through a partnership with World Travel Holdings, the world's largest cruise agency.

United Airlines is the second-largest airline serving Hawaii based on number of passengers, according to PBN research.
