United Adds Standby Feature to Mobile App

United Airlines has introduced a new standby feature directly within its mobile app, offering passengers flexibility during disruptions. Customers experiencing flight changes due to delays or cancellations will have the option to be rebooked onto an earlier available flight. This functionality allows travelers to secure seats on subsequent departures without incurring additional fees. United emphasizes that this stands-by service is automatically applied when a customer’s flight is impacted by a disruption. The move aims to provide enhanced support for customers navigating unforeseen travel challenges while utilizing the airline's digital platform.
