Ever miss a flight due to a tight connection? United Airlines says it will hold the plane for you - at least at a few airports, anyway. The airline is rolling out technology to several more airports this summer that will help customers make those inevitable tight connections.

United Airlines Brings Back Blankets On Domestic Flights After Customer And Employee Backlash [Roundup]

For long-haul international flights, United offers a great customer service experience in economy and premium classes, with comfortable seating, attentive service and good food. On short-haul domestic flights, United's service is adequate, but other airlines often outperform them in this area.

3. For international travel, you can also scan your passport using the app.

If you've booked on a single ticket, then the connecting procedure is super easy. There might be multiple flights, one after another, but they have been booked as one. After you've checked in your baggage, it will be passed between flights automatically, ready for you to pick-up when you land after your final flight.

They will often wait a little while, especially if it's the last flight of the day and even moreso if there are multiple passengers making the same connection. I've had Delta wait for me after inbound connection delays on several occasions.

In general, blankets provided by airlines on planes are free to use during the flight. However, it's worth noting that some airlines only provide blankets to passengers in certain cabin classes, such as business or first class.

Amenities: United provides Saks Fifth Avenue bedding to Polaris passengers, a pair of slippers and an Away amenity kit - featuring skin care items from Sunday Riley, ear plugs and an eye mask. Flights longer than 12 hours also include pajamas on request.

United Airlines is the third largest airline in the world, with 86,852 employees (which includes the entire holding company United Airlines Holdings) and 721 aircraft. It was the brainchild of William Boeing and emerged from his consolidation of numerous carriers and equipment manufacturers from 1928 to 1930.

If you prefer the extra legroom and comfort of the airline's premium cabins, Air India might be the better option. Both airlines offer competitive fares - however, you need to consider the total cost, including any extra fees or charges, before making your choice.

In most cases, you will only need to go to check-in when you have checked-in online if you need to drop off an item of hold baggage. Please ensure that you are aware of the hand baggage requirements for your specific airline before you travel.
