United Airlines extends program that allows passengers to drop luggage off day early

  • United Airlines is extending its "Twilight Bag Drop" pilot program, which allows passengers to check their luggage a day before their scheduled flight.
  • The program, initially tested at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, permits passengers with flights departing before 10 a.m. to drop off bags between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. the evening prior.
  • After a successful pilot phase, the service officially launched at O'Hare over the busy Fourth of July weekend and has received "overwhelmingly positive" feedback from participants.
  • Currently available at O'Hare and Guam International Airport, the program aims to simplify travel by allowing passengers to bypass bag check lines on their departure morning.
  • Despite some social media users expressing reluctance about making two trips to the airport, United is considering expanding the "Twilight Bag Drop" to additional hubs.
