United Reinstates Nonstop Service Between Chicago and Honolulu
Monday February 23, 2:15 pm ET
With Addition, United to Offer Customers Nonstop Service to Hawaii From Four
U.S. Hubs

CHICAGO, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines (OTC Bulletin
Board: UALAQ - News) today announced that it is reinstating its daily
nonstop service between Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and
Honolulu (HNL), effective June 3, 2004. Flights will be available for
booking on February 24, 2004.
"United is thrilled to once again offer our customers nonstop service from
Chicago, our hometown and largest hub, to one of the nation's top vacation
destinations," said John Tague, executive vice president - Customer, United
Airlines. "This flight will answer the call from our customers in the
Chicagoland area for daily, nonstop access to the beaches and sunshine of
Hawaii. It will also give our customers in the eastern U.S. another option
for convenient, one-stop service to the Islands."

United's announcement of this new service follows an announcement earlier
this month that it would begin flying a second daily nonstop flight between
Tokyo, Japan, and Honolulu in June 2004.

United will fly daily between Chicago and Honolulu with a Boeing 777
aircraft configured with 36 seats in first class and 312 seats in economy
class. UA001 will leave ORD at 1015 and arrive at HNL at 1345. The return
leg, UA002, will depart HNL at 1625 and arrive at ORD at 0515.

"This was a popular flight among many Hawaii residents and visitors, so
we're very pleased travelers will once again have this option," said
Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii. "The resumption of nonstop service between
Honolulu and Chicago is good news for visitors from the Midwest and those
connecting from the East Coast. As Hawaii's visitor market continues to
strengthen, the addition of flights such as this will help meet demand."

The new Chicago service will complement United's existing service to Hawaii
from its other hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. With 24 daily,
nonstop flights from three hub cities in the U.S. to four Hawaiian
Islands -- Oahu, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai -- United offers the most flights
between the mainland U.S. and Hawaii. United also offers daily, nonstop
service between Honolulu and both Tokyo and Osaka.

United has been serving Hawaii since 1947.

United, United Express and Ted operate more than 3,400 flights a day on a
route network that spans the globe. News releases and other information
about United can be found at the company's web site at www.united.com .
