On Thursday, the Chicago-based carrier launched an interactive online map that allows users to filter and view travel restrictions for each U.S. state. The airline says the Destination Travel Guide will expand to include all international destinations the airline serves in the coming weeks.
“We know it’s a challenge to keep up with the ever-changing list of travel restrictions, policies and regulations so we are offering a simple, easy tool that helps customers decide where to travel next,” Linda Jojo, executive vice president for technology and chief digital officer, said in a statement. “By providing the most up-to-date information on the destinations we serve, customers can compare and shop for travel with greater confidence and help them find the destinations that best fit their preferences.”
The color-coded map includes information about whether destinations are closed, partially open, or fully open for travel. Users can also find out about self-quarantining rules, COVID-19 test requirements, mask-wearing and social-distancing policies, as well as which hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and cultural institutions are open.
Customers can find the map, created by the startup Smartvel, on united.com and the United mobile app.
Last week, United Airlines announced that it will drop ticket-change fees and let customers fly stand-by for free.
