| TSA - 7 Steps United Is Taking To Shorten Wait Times |
At United, your safety and security - and that of our employees -remains and always will be our number one priority. While we encourage you to allow plenty of time in your travel schedules, particularly during the upcoming, always bustling summer travel season, here are seven important steps we’re taking to help get you through security in a timely manner and on your way:
1. More hands on deck
In an effort to get you through security faster, we are redeploying some of our employees at our hubs to help manage wait lines and perform other non-screening tasks. On top of the $11 million we spend on support from service partners, we’ve spent an additional $4 million to provide additional assistance from our service partners at several locations around the system, including at our hubs in Chicago, Newark and Houston. These partners are assisting with non-screening tasks at the security checkpoints and bag screening areas. This is an investment in you, because the wait times are unacceptable.
We are working with the TSA every day, and have been for the past several months, to help them address the longer-than-normal wait times at airport security checkpoints.
2. Volunteers are on the way
Employees from our Corporate Support Center in Chicago are volunteering to assist their co-workers at the airports and improve the travel experiences by helping better prepare you for the security process.
3. Staying in the loop
We are partnering with and strengthening communication with TSA on a local level at each airport to provide a more efficient deployment of resources to help alleviate wait times.
4. Operational flexibility
To help you in case you do get stuck in a long line, in certain situations we will hold a flight to allow you extra time to go through security. We will balance this with running a reliable operation as we know this is a priority for all of you. Additionally, we may have our employees 'prioritize' the security line for those of you whose flights are soon to depart.
5. Ensuring you have your belongings
Working with TSA, we have developed baggage processes to meet all security and safety requirements, with a focus on ensuring you receive your bags in a timely manner. This has supported record-setting baggage performances in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Newark.
6. Innovative checkpoints
With checkpoint redesign projects underway across our system, we are working with TSA to make sure we take advantage of the latest innovative checkpoint technology.
• We are in the process of consolidating our three checkpoints in Newark into one new, centralized checkpoint. This will allow for additional lanes and a much better process for you.
• We have redesigned checkpoints in Chicago to create more room for you.
• Our new checkpoint in Los Angeles is under construction. Once complete, this will be a dramatic improvement in your overall experience.
• We are engaged with TSA on a long-term project to alleviate wait times in Denver.
7. Sign up here
We are installing TSA PreCheck enrollment centers at each of our U.S. hub airports and other key locations to make it more convenient for you to enroll. Please visit the TSA PreCheck website for more information. Enrollment costs $85 and is valid for five years.
All that being said, all of us here at United have never been more focused on ensuring you have a comfortable and reliable journey. As part of our efforts to continuously improve, we want to hear your feedback on your experiences with security, and your trip as a whole. Click here to tell us how your trip went. We look forward to welcoming you on board soon. |
