United Airlines, Chicago, Monday said it had acquired the rights to two Internet addresses to make it easier for customers to access its Web site.
Customers looking to visit the original Web address at ual.com can now do so by typing united.com and unitedairlines.com as well.
United also announced that it would begin marketing the site in its television and print advertisements and other marketing and communications materials as united.com.
