SYDNEY/MELBOURNE, Australia, 19 June 2016 – United Airlines has announced their new ski incentive for Australian travel agents. In the lead up to the U.S. ski season, United has partnered with ski resorts in Utah and Nevada to give agents an opportunity to learn more about United’s offerings, some of the best ski destinations in Utah and Nevada, as well as to reward agents for taking the time to complete the training module. The top 10 performing agents will travel on United’s game-changing Dreamliner aircraft to Reno-Lake Tahoe or Salt Lake City in March 2017. The lucky winners will experience some of the most incredible skiing or boarding and après skiing activities in these regions.
The training module will run from 1 June – 31 July 2016. All agents have to do is simply register and complete the online training module at www.flyunited.com.au/ski.
