Customers wrongly assume that it's a United Airlines flight. It's not.

Actually most hotels are franchise property's. The brand is outsourced to who ever wants to put up the captial to use it. United markets the product, United sells the product, United picks the aircraft, United picks the hard and soft product, United dictates the serivce, the only thing not United on that plane is the three or four crew members.
