United Airlines is adding a small but helpful call center feature that could save customers from one of the most frustrating parts of airline customer service: repeating everything to an agent after already fighting with the phone bot.
You dial the number. A voice bot answers. You try to explain what you need. The bot offers options that may or may not help. Eventually, after the usual round of frustration, you ask for an agent.
Then you wait.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
