byAir vs. United

No. Keep the United app for official actions such as booking changes, check-in, boarding passes, seats, travel documents, checked bags, boarding progress, MileagePlus, agent support, and disruption recovery. byAir complements it with independent flight tracking, multi-airline trip organization, imports, and traveler-focused alerts.

Yes. Add a United flight manually, connect Gmail or Outlook, sync a calendar, forward the booking email, or scan a boarding pass or itinerary. The flight then appears alongside connections on United, partner airlines, or other carriers.

On eligible flights, byAir Predict can show a clearly labeled predicted departure time and likely reason before the airline publishes a new official estimate. Coverage varies, not every delay can be predicted, and United’s status remains the official one.

Its public feature list describes MileagePlus account management and current-trip tools, but not a personal flight-history statistics dashboard. byAir combines completed flights from every carrier and calculates totals for flights, distance, time in the air, airlines, aircraft types, and airports visited.

Use the United app for official transfer time, gate information, boarding progress, terminal guidance, and your boarding pass. Use byAir to keep the United segments together with partner flights, separate tickets, and independent operational context.

Use the United app for the Travel-Ready Center, official bag drop, bag scans, and disruption handling tied to your reservation. byAir does not replace those airline systems.
