United Offers Wireless Booking
from the start-with-the-basics dept
I should caveat this post with the statement that United used to be my airline of choice and now is the last airline I turn to for either business or personal. Today they announced you can book your flights and check your travel plans from your wireless phone. Now, I understand the Web department at United has nothing to do with the people who work to make the planes run on-time, but I have to say that I'd rather see United putting all of their resources behind fixing the very serious logistical problems they have, rather than expanding the options people have to book flights.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
