I’m flying with United Airlines soon and would like to understand the process for online check-in. Can someone please guide me on how early I can check in online, what steps are involved, and how I can select or change my seat during the process? Also, are there any tips or things I should be aware of when checking in through the United Airlines website or mobile app? Any help or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
You haven’t specified whether you’re checking in for an international flight to the USA, or a domestic flight within the USA.
I have some recent experience checking in for domestic flights within America and there’s nothing to it: in the app click on “Trips”, enter the booking number, and go from there. It was easy and seamless and I had no problem checking in and selecting my seats.
Online check-in for international flights is obviously going to be more complex (if you can do it at all) as presumably at some point a human will need to see your Visa and/or ESTA and Passport.
