United and BMW of North America are celebrating a successful summer, completing more than 14,000 luxury tarmac transfers since launching the automaker’s first tarmac transfer program with a U.S. airline in May. Available to select MileagePlus Premier members, the service offers chauffeured rides between connecting flights in 10 BMW vehicles across United hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Upon arrival, a dedicated Premier services agent meets members at the gate and escorts them to a state-of-the-art all-electric BMW i7 xDrive60 sedan or BMW iX M70 SUV waiting on the tarmac to drive them to their connecting flight.
“This summer, our ground transfer program with BMW of North America showed how seamless, premium journeys create real value for our MileagePlus members—helping thousands connect with less stress and more comfort,” Richard Nunn, CEO of MileagePlus, said in a statement. “BMW of North America’s commitment to innovation, luxury and sustainability further extends our program’s value, giving members elevated travel experiences that feel effortless and rewarding, while underscoring United’s commitment to delivering thoughtful, forward-looking solutions.”
