Boarding Priority Chart

Overview:
Designated boarding priorities are used for positive-space, company business travel and spaceavailable, leisure travel on United and United Express. Pass riders will be cleared for travel in
boarding priority order, along with board date where applicable. The Boarding Priority chart
outlined below is listed in boarding priority order.
United co-workers traveling on company business, United crew members, designated union
officials and other airline co-workers eligible for positive-space travel will be cleared in boarding
priority order. Space available pass riders will also be cleared in boarding priority order.
Positive space and space available pass riders with the same boarding priority will be sorted by
years of service to the company (oldest date first), and those with the same years of service to the
company will then be sorted by check-in time (earliest time first.) Employees may check in
online, at a kiosk, at a ticket counter or via mobile device. Positive space and space available
pass riders may be eligible for day of departure upgrades to premium cabins based on
availability. Upgrades are cleared in boarding priority order.
For complete details on the company business travel see the Company Business Policy document
in the Travel section on Flying Together. For complete details on space-available boarding
procedures see the Boarding Priority Policy document in the Travel section on Flying Together.
