United Airlines Status FAQ
Is United Airlines down right now?
Check Downdetector for community reports and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If multiple sources confirm problems, United is likely experiencing a widespread outage.
Why can't I log into my MileagePlus account?
MileagePlus login failures can be caused by a site outage, expired sessions, or password issues. Try resetting your password or call United at 1-800-864-8331 for account assistance.
Why is the United app not working?
App issues may stem from a server outage, an outdated version, or device-specific problems. Update the app, restart your device, and try the website as an alternative.
Can I still check in if United's website is down?
Yes — use the mobile app, airport kiosks, or check in with an agent at the counter. Your reservation is valid in United's system regardless of website status.
Why is United's website so slow today?
Slowness often indicates degraded performance or high traffic. Try during off-peak hours or use the app. Monitor Downdetector for confirmation of widespread issues.
