use paperless check in on united airlines

United airlines announced the expansion of mobile check-in and mobile boarding passes to United customers traveling on international flights. Customers may check in at united.com using a Web-enabled mobile phone beginning 24 hours before departure.

Additionally, United's mobile boarding pass option is now available to customers departing from airports in London, Munich, Amsterdam, Brussels, Geneva, Zurich, Moscow and Osaka. United plans to introduce the mobile boarding pass option at additional international airports, including Frankfurt, Tokyo Narita and Hong Kong, in the coming months. United currently offers paperless boarding at 62 U.S. airports, including its hubs in Chicago, Denver, Washington Dulles, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

"The expansion of our paperless check-in feature and boarding option to international travel enables our customers to enjoy even more flexibility and control throughout their travel experience," said Martin Hand, vice president of customer experience.

In addition to using the more environmentally friendly paperless boarding pass option, customers may also use Web-enabled mobile devices to check flight status, flight availability, itineraries and Mileage Plus® accounts, and sign up for notification via email, phone or text message of any changes to flight status. With the My Itineraries(SM) function, customers can view their itineraries and, in the event of missed connections, see the flights on which they have been automatically rebooked, rather than waiting in line at the airport for agent assistance.

airline tickets upgrade with frequent flyer miles

Traveling in business class is not only about getting a seat which would be a couple of inches wider and reclines more degrees than in economy class. You may expect a fully reclining seat, cozy cushions and pillow, quality food and entertainment amenities on board.
you may use frequent flyer miles to upgrade tickets to Business Class on international flights,you can purchasing an upgrade at the gate or online check in.
Each airline has its own upgrade levels, starting at 5,000 earned miles on up.
One way you can assure yourself a confirmed seat in first class is to use your miles, either for a free seat, or to upgrade from coach tickets. Going for the free seat is the better use of your miles. --- Many airlines sell upgrade coupons, denominated in multiples of 500 miles, for domestic trips. You simply give the airlines as many as required for your trip. Generally, you must be at least one elite level up the scale. If not, you can only use this for the most expensive coach seats. --- Mileage upgrades are usually for one-way travel. Thus you can upgrade overnight outbound flight, then save miles on your return day flight. If you want to upgrade round trip, you need to use twice the number of miles.

--- Some airlines require you to book upgrade over the phone. Others on line.

--- Low-ranking frequent fliers for cheap tickets take their chances at the departure gate.

--- Some airlines allow you to search for flights eligible for mileage upgrades.

--- Super-elite passengers find upgrades easier than lower level passengers.
If you are a frequent flyer and you have credit card eligible miles, then you have more chances to upgrade to business class for virtually free. It is possible to buy ticket using only frequent flyer miles and many other options would also be available to the frequent travelers. The airlines would provide options to purchase a full fare economy class ticket and later upgrade it to the executive class by applying some frequent flyer miles. Thus you can get executive class sets at a reduced rate.

As you probably already know, you can rack up frequent flyer miles by using your credit card if it has a frequent flyer program and you use that credit card to shop, but you can also buy, sell, and in some cases trade miles.
