United Airlines adds new flight status capabilities to app

United Airlines said it is vastly expanding the amount of flight status information available to travellers via the United app. Now travellers who are on a trip that includes flight segments not only on United, but on one of 26 other global carriers that are members of Star Alliance, can get immediate flight status updates on the United app for any flight operated by a Star Alliance carrier. Having immediate access to flight status information, of course, will make it easier for travellers to make quick decisions about changing travel arrangements should there be an issue with a flight on a partner Star Alliance carrier and to contact United staff if changes in flight plans need to be made. United passengers will even have access to Star Alliance flight status updates while aboard a United flight. <br/>
