United Airlines News

By providing both seat-back entertainment and stream abilities, United is playing both sides of the fence in hopes that one of them will pay off.

After initially lagging in Wi-Fi installation, United is smart to be transparent about its connectivity efforts and making it easy for flyers to know whether their plane will or will not connect in-flight.

International traffic, whether by U.S. domestic carriers or foreign airlines flying into and out of the U.S., was the biggest gainer in the annual BTS passenger roundup.

United is vying for a viral ad by making brand ambassadors out of Olympics stars. Anything to take the focus off the airline's ongoing post-merger blues.

If United officials truly believe the carrier's merger woes are yesterday's problem, then their problems are truly much larger than imagined.

The new FAA rules on pilot rest could lead to more flight delays and cancellations, but ensuring that pilots in the cockpit aren't nodding off because they are excessively tired is sensible and worth it.

Extra fees are making airlines' profits healthier while keeping base fares low for consumers. They're on track to increase each year, which is becoming a good thing for the industry and flyers.

The competition for cross-country flyers will heat up as carriers attempt to outdo one another with the best in-flight experience, even if only a fraction of road warriors can afford it.

The Travel Wallet is a nice touch, as frequent flyers can now easily access mobile boarding passes, one-time United Club passes and flight notifications in one place. Beyond that the app has some nice additions, but nothing that knocks your socks, or anything else, off.
