Flying with Oprah? Well, sort of, on United Airlines plane that honors TV talk-show host

Want to fly Air Oprah? If you were on a United flight that left Chicago on Thursday morning, you would have been the first to fly on a plane that honors the queen of TV talk shows in a very showy way.

United Airlines has tricked out a Boeing 757 as the Oprah Winfrey Show Farewell Season Plane, which features her signature prominently displayed along the side of the plane and on the tail. The inside also is decorated with O-friendly touches, United said.

The flight is set to arrive at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) at 1:52 p.m. and, in true Oprah spirit, there’s a big on-board giveaway: One lucky passenger will be randomly selected to receive enough air miles from United to fly around the world. (No, Oprah couldn’t be there for the takeoff or the landing.)

United is using the event to kick off its new Million Mile Giveaway, a sweepstakes that gives away 1 million air miles each month.

And who knows? You may get to fly Air Oprah yourself. United says the plane will be used on regular flights through May.

Winfrey last year announced that her show would end next September after 25 years on television.
