United expects busy start to summer travel
United Airlines is expecting its busiest Memorial Day holiday ever.
It projects a record three million travelers flying United between May 23-28.
This would be an increase of nearly 10% compared to last year.
The airline is encouraging the use of its app to help make holiday travel as stress-free as possible.
It says the United app has dozens of features to help travelers skip lines, breeze through security, navigate to their gates, quickly check their bags and more.
It estimates travelers can cut wait times by an average 30 minutes.
“The United app is a game-changer that saves time and makes the overall experience of flying United even better,” said Linda Jojo, United’s Chief Customer Officer.
“With an uptick of leisure travel over the summer months, we’ve found that customers who travel with the app feel informed and empowered about their flights.”
Time saving app functions include live, personalized flight notifications, a seat preferences feature, automatic rebooking assistance during flight disruptions and TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID at Chicago O’Hare, LAX, and Newark Liberty Airports.
There are also animated terminal maps in the app as well as mobile check-in and checked bag tracking
