United Airlines is implementing a change in its registration policy that could leave the passengers stranded.
As of June 3, passengers traveling with United must consult 45 minutes before the departure time, regardless of whether they are checking a bag.
The current rule of the airline requires that passengers flying in the country are registered only 30 minutes before the exit if they are not checking a bag. Those who fly internationally must register 60 minutes before the exit. That rule remains unchanged.
In a statement to IndependentUnited said: “As of June 3, our check-in cutting time for national flights will change 45 minutes before departure. The change provides greater consistency for our clients by aligning with our current deadline for invoiced luggage and registration policies followed by most other airline of self -service “.
The airline did not provide additional information about assistance with the recovery process in case a passenger is not registered 45 minutes before the exit.
However, multiple reports indicate that passengers were not recorded on their flight at least 45 minutes before the entrance could be denyed.
The change of United Rules occurs when the airline faces greater scrutiny for exits and safety in time.
