United dedicates plane to 'Oprah'

Now that Chicago-based talk show host Oprah Winfrey is wrapping up her last season of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," United Airlines has unveiled a tribute to her: a Boeing 757 jet.

The airline won't give Winfrey the jet. She can afford her own. Instead, it has repainted the plane to include the Oprah signature and the words "the farewell season" emblazoned on the fuselage. It marks the first time Chicago-based United has repainted a jet from nose to tail for a special promotion.

During the plane's inaugural flight from Chicago to Los Angeles on Nov. 4, passengers saw a video greeting from Winfrey and received monogrammed "Oprah" fleece blankets.

The plane will retain its "Oprah" theme until May. The fleece blankets are all gone, but passengers will be shown the Winfrey welcoming video after the airplane safety instructions.
