United Airlines is introducing a new feature that enables MileagePlus members to combine and redeem miles with up to five members to alleviate travel affordability concerns. This move comes amidst concerns about travel costs and aims to increase customer loyalty. Other airlines like JetBlue, Frontier, and Spirit already offer similar programs. United\'s pooling feature allows members to create joint accounts and use the collective miles for flight purchases. This initiative is part of United\'s efforts to provide more value to its loyalty members and encourage participation in the loyalty program.
