Dubai's flagship airline, Emirates, has extended its codeshare partnership with United and added nine destinations in Mexico to its route. With this expansion, Emirates customers will now have access to eight new locations in the country, in addition to Mexico City, which the airline also serves. Mexico is the first country outside the US to be added to the network.
With this codeshare partnership, customers enjoy flexibility and choice with smooth connections, allowing them to fly with Emirates to two points in the US, Chicago or Houston, and connect onwards to exciting destinations in Mexico. The new Mexican locations are Cancun, Cozumel, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, San Jose Del Cabo, Leon/Guanajuato, and Queretaro.
The partnership provides more flexibility for flight timings and lets Emirates customers flying to Mexico City choose flights as per their schedule. Passengers can fly to the Mexican capital using Emirates daily services from Dubai with a stop in Barcelona or separately book codeshare flights to Mexico City. The expansion of the codeshare network also enables customers flying from the nine points in Mexico to fly to destinations on the Emirate's network via Chicago or Houston.
Tickets to codeshare destinations in Mexico are available via emirates.com for travel starting 14 September. With the addition of the new points in Mexico, the enhanced codeshare network now includes 134 destinations, accessible from United’s gateways in the US, while almost 100 additional points across the US, Canada, Central and South America, and the Caribbean are available for customers to choose from on an interline basis.
Travellers with itineraries on Emirates flights can plan their entire trip on a single ticket and Emirates’ frequent flyer programme, Emirates Skywards, can look forward to earning and redeeming miles on flights of both airlines, if booked on codeshare flights.
