Whether or not travelers have been vaccinated for COVID-19, testing remains an important and often necessary tool for safe travel during the pandemic. United Airlines is hoping to make getting tested for COVID-19 even easier for its passengers.
The carrier has introduced a new tool that helps travelers find, book, and upload COVID-19 test results, all from the airline’s online Travel-Ready Center, which can also be accessed through the United app. The Travel-Ready Center was launched in January as a way for customers to access testing and vaccine requirements for the destinations they are traveling to and returning from.

A new feature on the Travel-Ready section of United s app enables Covid-test info to be automatically loaded into the app.
United Airlines customers in several hub cities can now have Covid-19 test results delivered directly into the Travel-Ready Center feature of the airline s app.
The functionality means flyers will no longer have to upload the testing data themselves. Instead, they can choose from more than 200 testing providers in the network of TrustAssure labs in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the New York/Newark area. Once test results are in, United will validate the information and inform customers whether they are cleared to fly and able to receive their mobile boarding pass.

âAs countries around the world begin the process of reopening, leisure travelers are eager to take a long-awaited getaway to new international destinations,â Patrick Quayle, vice president of international network and alliances at United Airlines, said in a statement. âThese three new routes unlock the natural beauty of the outdoors for our guests.â
