The United App

The all-in-one travel partner just keeps getting better and it’s a must for anyone travelling on United. Customers can check in for their flight, receive their boarding pass and pay for bags ahead of time. The app features airport maps with easy to navigate terminal guides, so if you’re after a specific lounge, or looking for the closest route to your gate, the app will get you there.

Passengers can change their seats, or their flights if something better becomes available. If passengers have an issue, Agent on Demand is available on the app, allowing passengers to talk, text or video chat with an agent with any concerns about their trip.

Once onboard, the app also allows passengers to watch movies, play games or pay for inflight snacks and drinks while in the air.

Most recently, United became the first U.S. airline to allow Live Activities for iPhone users, which provides real-time flight status updates and more right from the lock screen, so you never even need to open the app.
