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
  • Eligible customers travelling on codeshare flights will also soon enjoy access to Emirates and United lounges
