United Airlines is testing a new app feature that could make airport travel easier for passengers with limited time before boarding. Eligible travelers can order food, drinks and travel essentials through the United app and collect their purchases at the gate. As this is a pilot program, the service is not yet available to every United passenger at Newark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where Is United\u2019s Gate Food Delivery Service Available?<\/b><\/h2>\n

United is testing the service at select gates in Terminal C at Newark Liberty International Airport. The pilot covers eligible passengers departing from or connecting through gates C125 to C138. The pilot is available on select domestic and international United flights. Travelers should check the United app or their email to confirm whether their flight qualifies for the service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

United selected Newark because it is one of its busiest connecting hubs. Many passengers have little time between arriving on one flight and boarding the next. Rather than searching for a restaurant and waiting in line, they can order in advance and pick up their items near the gate.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does United Airlines Gate Food Pickup Work?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The process is simple. Before departure, United sends eligible travelers a push notification through the United app or an email. The notification displays the available food, drinks and travel essentials. After placing and paying for an order, passengers can collect it from a designated pickup shelf at the gate. They can enjoy the food before boarding or bring it onboard. This is a gate pickup service, not traditional restaurant delivery. It helps passengers collect their orders quickly before their flight.<\/span><\/p>\n
