Due to high customer loads, weight restrictions or other factors, employees, retirees and their travel eligibles may experience difficulty when traveling to, from or through these destinations:

• Dubai (DXB) and Kuwait City (KWI): We experience weight restrictions on a regular basis. Please ensure that you, your travel eligibles and companions are prepared to make alternate travel arrangements if necessary. Note that DXB and KWI are not ticketing locations so NRSA travelers should arrange for back-up tickets on other airlines before traveling to Dubai or Kuwait City.

International Travel Embargoes

Embargoes for some of United's international destinations apply to unaccompanied companions and employees of other airlines. Continental co-workers are eligible to travel during these periods. These embargoes only apply to United Airlines flights.

Note: Embargoes are only in effect for flights from the departing station listed, unless otherwise specifically indicated.

About Travel Embargoes

United embargoes travel due to full flights that have left historically large numbers of space-available, non-revenue travelers stranded for several days in cities within the United system.

The space-available passengers that are affected include:

• Unaccompanied companions of United employees/retirees
• Employees, retirees and their travel eligibles, including companions from other airlines, including United Express carriers.

Travel for United employees and retirees, their travel eligibles and accompanied companions is not embargoed.

The embargo does not apply to United or other airline employees who are traveling on company business. However, employees should carefully evaluate if business travel can be avoided during a scheduled embargo period due to heavy passenger and /freight loads.

The embargo is reviewed based on flight loads and is subject to change.

It is the employee's responsibility to review travel policies for companions and to remind all pass travelers that their space on flights is NOT guaranteed. Please be aware that outbound travel is risky when return travel is embargoed.

Travel by an unaccompanied companion or other airline employee/retiree/travel eligible during an embargo is against company policy.
