United Airlines has updated its ‘contract of carriage‘ to double the amount of time you have to show up in advance at the airport, though they aren’t enforcing this yet.
A United Airlines passenger thought he was having a horrible travel day. He didn’t know how good he had it – because he was flying United.
The man was connecting. His first flight was delayed for maintenance, but he made it through the airport while his next flight was still boarding.
Marriott and United are offering bonus points for elites traveling with the other company in July and August.
A United Airlines passenger flying from San Francisco to Austin with her young child was kicked off her flight on Wednesday after misgendering a flight attendant. It’s disputed whether the misgendering incident is the only reason for her removal.
Jenna Longoria was traveling with her 16-month-old son and her mother. She says that the misgendering was an accident. The airline, though, says that “a party of three traveling out of San Francisco today was not allowed to board following a discussion about having too many carry-on items.” It seems likely that’s when the pronoun discussion occurred.
The woman watching them took to social media, and decided it was time to identify the cheater, because “he’s probably going to be staying with Katy tonight” in New York. Things got spicier, because it seems the new couple were “making out” at their seats and “ended up in the bathroom.”
United Airlines is planning to expand its operation of Boeing 737s flying out of Tokyo Narita airport to other destinations in Asia.

Last summer United brought in a Vice President from Comcast to lead MileagePlus. It wasn’t because he had a unique understanding of loyalty marketing. The idea was to better monetize MileagePlus members by selling ads more aggressively.
United Airlines 998 from Brussels to Newark diverted to Dublin today due to an unruly passenger – and went to quarantine when it landed.
United Airlines is bringing a new ice cream flavor to long haul business class, along with refreshed toppings and cake starting June 1
Friday’s United Airlines Newark to Dubrovnik flight was reportedly oversold in business class. United doesn’t normally sell more tickets in business class than they have seats, and it doesn’t appear that the aircraft was swapped to one with a smaller business class cabin.
Nobody would take the airline’s generous offers of compensation, even though “[t]hey offered 2500 and then 3000.”
