Tight airline connection? How United is saving travelers from sprinting - Chron
Right now, somewhere, a traveler is sprinting through an airport terminal as the final boarding announcement echoes throughout the building.
It’s a common scene at airports across the country. But if the passenger is on a United Airlines flight connecting through Houston, that sprint may no longer be necessary. A more motivated walk might just do the trick as United’s new ConnectionSaver program is holding planes for travelers with tight connections.
And using a complex algorithm, United does this without inconveniencing passengers already on the plane.
