United Airlines launches map search trip planning tool
United Airlines has just rolled out a new interactive map search tool to aid customers’ trip planning.
The map search function allows travelers to view all of their preferred travel destinations in one place to compare and shop for flights.
United say it is the first US airline to launch an interactive map feature with Google Flight Search Enterprise Technology.
The airline says it was responding to direct customer feedback in developing the function.
Customers can search by departure city, budget, and location type and fares are listed in a map view so they can compare several destiations at once.
Search parameters include fixed or flexible dates, nonstop or connecting flights, and one-way or roundtrips.
Destination types can be filtered via interests such as beaches, culture, hiking, winter sports and more.
"We’ve introduced something new for our customers that is simpler, provides better results and is easy to use. Leveraging the power of Google’s Flight Search technology, we are able to provide an all-in-one solution that streamlines the search process," said United’s Chief Digital Officer, Linda Jojo.
MileagePlus members can also use the tool to keep track of their past travels with United with the ‘Where I’ve Been’ tab.
