United Airlines has launched a new preferred seat mobile feature.
Passengers can request their preferred seat for free before departure. If their chosen seat opens up, they will be moved automatically.
United switched over 18,000 passengers to their preferred seat in July.
Travellers must request their desired seat if their preferred seat isn’t available at the time of booking their flight and select where they’d like to sit.
They will be automatically notified about their new seat assignment if their preferred choice becomes available.
Passengers can download the mobile app at united.com.
