CHICAGO-<\/strong> Around 60 United Airlines (UA)<\/a> frequent flyers completed an ambitious endurance challenge called the “United 7 Hub Run,” flying between all seven of the carrier’s hub airports in under 24 hours on June 6. The marathon began at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and finished at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route connected Washington Dulles (IAD), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Houston George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Denver International (DEN), and Los Angeles International (LAX)<\/a>. Despite a string of delays across the day, the group reached San Francisco at 11:18 pm with just 42 minutes to spare before the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the United 7 Hub Run Unfolded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenge tasks participants with flying to every United hub within a single day. Some flyers joined to quickly earn miles toward elite status in what enthusiasts call a “mileage run.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others took part purely for the achievement of saying they linked all of United’s hubs in less than 24 hours. The event drew roughly 60 frequent flyers on June 6, turning an ordinary Saturday into a cross-country sprint, PYOK<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
