.com:No more incoming flight info?
When looking at flight status page on .com, I am no longer seeing the incoming flight info, just the aircraft type and number. Anyone else not seeing this?
(Sorry if already a thread on this. Searched but couldn't find anything.)

Indeed. Temporary bug or permanent reduction in available information? Given the massive operational difficulties recently, which are often highlighted by this information, won't be surprised if it's the latter.

Now, it's all bets are off and one is at the mercy of the airport agents; unless of course the agents tell you to call the 1K desk because they are powerless to assist.

While sometimes nice, it tended to be unreliable due irrops.
If not a glitch (which is a good probability), we lived without in pmUA.

Funny. I never use the website for this info because of how graphical/slow it is compared to the text version of mobile.united.com. And Mobile.com still shows the data just fine as I'm taking a few flights tomorrow.

No problems for me both on the iPhone app and the website (via safari) and I for one really like this feature-both under irrops and sometimes finding out ahead of time about an aircraft swap via the ship number but also knowing if your inbound flight is late and there is not going to be an aircraft swap so I can try and switch to a different flight

Maybe this is in response to the other discussion about the fact that current flights more or less always show up as being "ON-TIME" when a simple search of the incoming flight shows that the incoming aircraft will arrive 2hrs after you are scheduled to depart. Rather than fixing their software, maybe they are just limiting our access to the information. Probably an enhancement to our well being to sit comfortably knowing our flight is on-time rather than stressing over possible misconnections etc.
How nice of them
