United Airlines Will Now Hold Planes For Connecting Flyers
June 12, 2019If you have a tight connection while flying United Airlines, you might benefit from the airline’s new ConnectionSaver tool that identifies departing flights that can be held for connecting customers.
In February, United launched the ConnectionSaver tool at Denver International Airport and then expanded to Chicago O’Hare International Airport – two of the airline’s busiest hubs. United announced Monday it plans to expand the ConnectionSaver technology to other airports that United services in the future.
Connecting customers receive personalized text messages from ConnectionSaver with directions to the gate for their connecting flight; information about expected travel time between the two gates; and nearby amenities.
