2h agoUnited App: Three Standbys, One Text, Zero Seat Risk
United's new app feature lets you add yourself to the standby list for up to three earlier flights to the same destination after a disruption, without losing your original confirmed reservation. United monitors those flights in the background and texts you when a seat opens, so you can accept the switch or stay put. No more manually refreshing or hovering at gates. This turns one of the most stressful parts of irregular operations into a passive, higher-EV system.
the play
Next time United rebooks you after a delay or cancellation, open the app and add yourself to the standby list for up to three earlier eligible flights to the same airport, then wait for the text.
