United Airlines Introduces New App Feature Offering Vouchers, Rebooking For Flight Disruptions

United Airlines has updated its mobile app to provide vouchers for hotels, meals, and rideshares to customers whose flights are delayed or cancelled.
The app update will allow customers to rebook flights, receive notifications about delays and cancellations, track baggage, and connect with customer service agents virtually.
The new feature aims to reduce stress, save time, and increase transparency for customers during travel disruptions.
The Department of Transportation is considering new rules to require airlines to compensate passengers for significant delays and cancellations.
United Airlines has cancelled over 5,000 flights and had over 100,000 flights arrive at least 15 minutes late so far this year.
