Ally Limelight — United Airlines
United Airlines Honors Pride 2019
It was United’s first-ever MileagePlus Exclusives Drag Queen Brunch in Chicago. To attend the event, participants donated their miles to our charity partner, The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that provides intervention and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth.
"This year, we wanted to take Pride Month a step further by bringing an experience that recognizes and embraces the different communities our customers and employees are part of while supporting a great cause and organization," said Luc Bondar, Vice President of Loyalty and President of MileagePlus.
"The brunch created an inclusive environment to come together as a United family. To our Drag Queen performers and volunteers, thank you for allowing us to be part of your story and empowering others through your courage to be who you are."
Why Ally Limelight?
United Airlines has been my preferred airline for well over a decade and news of their Drag Queen Brunch brought a smile to my face. After doing some research I found United’s Pride Hub listing over a dozen Pride events they attended and supported this year.
From their page, “We are determined to lead the industry in LGBT inclusivity, and in most recent news, we are so proud to be the first U.S. airline to offer inclusive booking options for our customers, such as U, X, and the inclusive honorific Mx.”
