EVA and United team up to co-share flights

EVA Air and United Airlines will introduce co-shared services on August 11, 2012. Initially, the new cooperation enables EVA passengers to more easily connect from Asia to Midwestern and Southern regions of the United States and those flying United from Cleveland and Houston to more readily access Pacific Rim destinations. The airlines will extend these co-shared services to more domestic and international destinations in the future, making it increasingly convenient for passengers to connect between the respective global networks.

To start, the new co-share applies to United flights from Cleveland and Houston to EVA’s three West Coast gateways, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. EVA flies between Taipei and the three West Coast cities daily, providing as many as 35 flights a week. EVA codes will be carried by United-operated flights on Cleveland-Los Angeles, Cleveland-San Francisco, Houston-Los Angeles, Houston-San Francisco and Houston-Seattle routes. Both airlines’ passengers now have the convenience of one-ticket connections and through-checked luggage from these routes to EVA’s destinations throughout Asia and China.

Code share. Not co-share.

Eva is joining *A, this code share may only be a start. Would like to see some HKG-TPE flights operated by EVA as United code share. For now, at least people flying to TPE on UA ticket do not have to stop in NRT any more.

Isn't UA re-starting the SFO-TPE nonstop route again? That could make sense if there will be onward code share connections at TPE

wait isnt AA & EVA code-sharing already?

One would think that would stop once they join *A.

yeah but i don think Eva will join on 8/11/12. Thus I dont get it... I mean i guess you can have codeshares with both AA/UA on an Eva flight.

Can I use my united number on Eva?

Maybe, maybe not. Being in an alliance doesn't preclude having codeshares with other partners.

Yes. Earning varies by fare class: http://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/mar...ns/Pages/AirlinePartnerDetails.aspx?ItemId=71.

Thanks, I will try.
