United Airlines releases its Windows Phone 8 app

United Airlines has released it's Windows Phone 8 app, United, today. The app is a feature rich connection to the airlines to help you make it through your travels.

The United app's main pages cover your basic menu options (book a flight, check on flight status, check in, etc.), a log in page for your United Airline's account, a travel tools page (flight reminders, games, currency converter, baggage charges and more) and an Airport Maps page.

Key features of the United app include:

• “My Travel” section – easy storage of reservations, boarding passes, flight status alerts and United Club one-time passes
• Check-in and mobile boarding pass storage – quick access so you’re ready on the go
• Flight booking – book your flights, including award travel, from your Windows Phone
• Review your reservations – once travel is booked, you can access your reservations, change seats, add to your device calendar or send your itinerary via email
• Flight Status – view the upgrade list, seat map, in-flight amenities and departure gate for your flights
• Flight status notification and live tiles – monitor a selected flight
• Account access – enroll in MileagePlus® or view your current account activity
• United Club locations – find a location or purchase a one-time pass
• FlightView – view flight maps showing current flight status and weather 

United comes across as a very well laid out, feature rich app and if you fly United Airlines this may very well be a must have app for your Windows Phone 8 device.

United is a free app that you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

Thanks, Travis, for the tip!
