United Airlines has unveiled "The Oprah Winfrey Show" farewell season plane.
The Boeing 757 aircraft is newly painted with imagery from the TV show. The interior also has been
redecorated and passengers will be greeted by a special onboard video welcome from Oprah Winfrey.
At a send-off event at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, customers will hear a
special message from Oprah Winfrey before boarding the flight. One passenger will win enough United Mileage Plus miles for a trip around the world. Each customer on the inaugural flight also will
receive monogrammed "Oprah 25" fleece blanket.
In conjunction with the unveiling of plane, United is launching the United Million Mile Giveaway -- a sweepstakes that will give one
million United Mileage Plus miles to one winner each month through May 2011. Additional prizes include Oprah Store e-cards, and details for the sweepstakes can be found at www.unitedmillionmiles.com.
United will fly the Oprah plane to and from cities in United's domestic network through May 2011. Customers and
"Oprah" show viewers are encouraged to take photos of the plane and upload them to the plane photo gallery on the sweepstakes Web site.--Tanya Irwin
