United Airlines Reviews: What to Know Before Flying
The history of United Airlines dates back nearly 100 years, when Varney Air Lines (which would eventually become part of United) launched its first flight in a tiny Swallow airplane on April 6, 1926. The journey was a mail run from Pasco, Washington, to Elko, Nevada, via Boise, Idaho.Since then, the company has grown into one of the largest airlines in the world, with a fleet of over 1,300 planes (including both mainline and regional aircrafts) operating more than 4,500 flights across five continents. The airline introduced its frequent-flier program in May 1981, founded the Star Alliance in 1997, and became the first North American carrier to fly the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in 2012, among other milestones.
