United Airlines (Chicago) today (November 4) unveiled The Oprah Winfrey Show Farewell Season Plane. The Boeing 757-222 registered N542UA (msn 25276) aircraft is newly decorated – from nose to tail – with imagery from The Oprah Winfrey Show Farewell Season. Onboard the aircraft, customers will notice a specially decorated interior and will be greeted by a special onboard video welcome from TV show host Oprah Winfrey.
At a send-off event at Chicago O’Hare International Airport today, customers heard a special message from Oprah Winfrey before boarding the flight. During the flight, one lucky ticketed customer won the trip of his or her dreams by receiving enough United Mileage Plus® miles for a trip around the world. Each customer on the inaugural flight received a specially monogrammed “Oprah 25” fleece blanket.
