So, United Airlines has launched a new subsidiary called Ameniti. The concept is promoted as a concierge-based, upscale travel club. The primary benefit to the membership (now at charter status, at around $400 per year) is the ability to get a same-class ticket for every ticket purchased on United. Which, if you’re traveling overseas, is a pretty good deal.

I have an update on this: In a more recent article, I take an in-depth look at Ameniti, and why it’s actually a brilliant marketing scam.
