United Airlines has implemented United EasyCheck-in at the San Francisco International Airport.

The United EasyCheck-in units allow US domestic E-ticket customers to perform a wide variety of transactions, using a Mileage Plus Premier member card or any major credit card for identification. As well as reducing check-in time, customers can also request or confirm an upgrade and have their boarding passes issued; print an E-ticket receipt; view a real-time seat map to change or request seat assignments; enter their Mileage Plus number for travel credit; and check bags at designated units, while earning 500 Mileage Plus miles for each use.

The airline has installed 23 United EasyCheck-in units within the airport lobby, the rotunda and curbside. United has also installed the units at Salt Lake City, Chicago O'Hare, Los Angeles, New York JFK and San Diego.
