flights daily to both domestic and international locations. This means customers can reach virtually any intended travel destination through UA 's network with minimal transfers. UA also has many new and upgraded airplanes, which are able to provide a modern traveling experience for its customers. While Southwest lacks United 's vast network, the primary goal is customer convenience, as Southwest offers frequent flights between locations throughout the day (with some being offered as frequently as hourly), offering customers more choice when planning their itinerary. In addition, UA also has its frequent flyer program called Mileage Plus, which is one of the world 's first and largest. The program is designed to present exclusive offers for its customers, including such perks as access to member-only lounges within airports. Southwest also utilizes a frequent flyer program, although it is intended to focus on value for the customer by providing discounts. As frequent flyer programs are designed to retain customer loyalty and provide incentive for repeat customers (Teichert et al., 2008), this should be a focus for both companies moving forward. Incentives such as reduced rates, seat upgrades and enhanced customer service in every aspect of the experience, from booking to service provided within the cabin should be emphasized in both marketing and practice (Wen and Yeh, 2010). UA currently emphasizes its marketing to business and international travelers, which aims to make…

Since I travel a lot, I’m an expert packer with how to roll the clothes to make room for even more clothes that I was never going to wear in just a week in California, but hey, at least I had a ton of options for clothing choice. Our flight was in Omaha later that night as my siblings, and boyfriend started…
