United Airlines Adds New Features to iOS App

United Airlines announced the addition of additional features to the iOS version of its smartphone app on Friday.

The new features include the ability to add and edit day-of-travel contact data within My Trips as well as to add emergency contact information for an unaccompanied minor. Another new feature allows members of the airline’s MileagePlus frequent-flyer program to see their progress to reach the next elite level in the program.

Finally, the airline added the ability for a user to see how many people are visiting the same flight he is considering.

The Chicago-based airline introduced a completely redesigned version of its iOS and Android apps in January and added support for Chase Pay to the app in March.
