What our app can do for you

Easily plan your trip, whether it’s just you or you’re traveling with friends.

Use Trip Planner to plan a trip with friends and family. First, select three flight options, send them to your friends, and then vote on the flight you like most.

Check in for your flight, get your boarding pass, and pay for your bags ahead of time. Plus, more easily navigate the airport with terminal guide.

You can open your boarding pass right from the app home once you’ve checked in.

Change seats, or flights, if something better becomes available.

To change seats, go to your reservation, select “Change seats”, choose the seats you want, and save.

Talk, text or video chat with an agent if you have any questions about your trip.

To chat with an agent, simply go to the more menu and select “Help Center”. Then select “Contact us”.

Watch movies, play games, and pay for inflight snacks and drinks while you’re in the air.

To play games go to the more menu and select “Game Center”. You can play Sudoku, Flight Simulator, Cleared to Land and more.

App FAQs

Just select “Book Flight” at the bottom of your app screen and fill out your origin, destination, dates and everything else as you normally would, and search.

Otherwise, you’ll be sent to our website to finish your purchase.

You can switch the United app to Spanish by following these steps:
