There are also twitter replies from both airlines hinting the upcoming partnership.

This would be one of the bigger cross alliance partnerships (comparing to QF/EK, QR/VA and SQ/GA to name a few examples) out there should it assumably be announced on September 14.

Seems reasonably unexciting.

The main points are:

• EK and UA will have an interline agreement
• United will launch a non-stop EWR-DXB flight
• Emirates Skywards members can soon earn miles when they travel on United operated flights
• United Mileage Plus members flying on United’s New York/Newark to Dubai flight will be able to earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai
