United Airlines has introduced a new feature allowing passengers to purchase meals, snacks, and beverages directly from their smartphones using a tap-to-pay system. This initiative, which began rolling out on February 1, 2024, aims to streamline the in-flight purchasing process by eliminating the need for cash or card transactions. Passengers can now use their mobile devices to pay for items by simply scanning a QR code displayed on the seatback screen or provided by the flight attendant. This system not only enhances convenience but also speeds up service, reduces errors in transactions, and provides a contactless payment option, aligning with modern travel expectations for efficiency and hygiene.
