Molto interessanti le ultime innovazioni alla gia' ottima App di United; dico ottima perche' funziona davvero molto, ma molto bene (per fortuna!)
La prima prevede che che il passeggero possa visualizzare la posizione del proprio bagaglio in tempo reale, dal check-in all'arrivo:
Bag tracking now available in the United app
We made a major improvement to our United app today, launching the beta version of a bag tracking tool that allows our customers to follow their checked bags along the critical points of their trip, from check-in to arrival.
The new “Track my bags” feature is one of the many ways we’re working to improve our customers’ experience at every stage of their journey and offer them a level of transparency they expect and deserve.
With this functionality, customers can follow along as their bags are scanned during their journey. In the rare case a bag gets rerouted or mishandled, the tracker service will give clear instructions on what to do next. For instance, if a bag arrives on an earlier or later flight than originally scheduled, alerts will tell the customer to go directly to the Baggage Service Office upon arrival at his or her final destination for assistance.
Customers can access the “Track my bags” feature under the main menu in the app or under their reservation details. A simple set of prompts allows a customer to find his or her item using the itinerary or bag tag number.
With bag-scanning rates at their highest levels and as we head into fall with 22 of 24 months of record mishandled baggage ratio (MBR) performance, we’re ready for a successful rollout.
La seconda, non meno importante, e' che si offrira' la possibilita' di avere la Electronic Boarding Pass di altro vettore in connection disponibile sull'App United, la qual cosa, fin ad ora, si doveva far cartacea o sulle due app distinte; United e' al momento l'unica major USA ad offrire questa opportunita' ai propri clienti e il vettore di lancio per la novita' e' LH.
"This enhancement will allow our customers who connect on Lufthansa to retrieve and store an electronic boarding pass in the United mobile app. Today these same customers are forced to use paper. "
