United Airlines has taken a new approach to managing its liabilities by blocking other Star Alliance airlines from booking most saver economy award space. This means that if you want to book a ticket, you'll have to use United miles, which often cost more than what partner airlines charge. However, this change is not all bad news.

By directly interacting with United and spending United miles, members can enjoy exclusive perks and benefits that they may not get from partner airlines. Additionally, United can now focus on building stronger relationships with its own customers, rather than relying on revenue from partners buying award tickets and sending cash to United. So while the practice of blocking Star Alliance airlines has changed, it's clear that United is still committed to providing its members with the best possible experience.
