Question UA: Google Now Mobile Boarding Pass

Recently noticed that i m not getting my mobile boarding pass of United Airlines on my google now. It just shows my flight information as compared to earlier when it used to show two cards, one for flight info and other for Mobile BP.

I used to scan my boarding pass via my Moto 360 Smart watch which was cool.

Does any one else has the same problem?

Are you having your mobile BPs delivered via email to your Gmail account? If you checkin on the app, but don't ask it to email you your mobile BPs, Google Now won't pick it up.

It used to be the same way earlier and i didnt had any issues with it. It sends you both mobile boarding pass link and pdf attachment of the BP.

I dont checkin on the United app. i always do it on my laptop.

I was expecting few more responses from our Mileage plus folks.
My primary reason for buying a smart watch apart from knowing time was to use it at the airport like a charm and not having to scan my boarding pass on phone.

It stopped working for me recently also, but haven't figured out why.

I tried to find the issue if someone else faced it before, but there's nothing in the blogs or posts in Google that i could find.

We have biggest real time users of the Google now boarding passes in FT. Someone might have had this issue and might know how to fix it, if not there has to a alternative for this.

It never really worked for me, but with only a phone I never saw a real difference between that and the United app. (Well, there's the nice part where the United app doesn't remind me of the latest loss by a Cleveland sports team when I go to board a flight).

a trigger is that you must have the boarding pass emailed to your gmail account, and i believe it should be the .pdf option.

that being said, it was never 100% for me in the first place.

Just an update as i got my new nexus 6 and thought will wait till my next trip is due, which in this case is tomorrow and i haven't seen my mobile boarding pass till now and everything is setup as is required.

I think its the problem with United and Google now. Some one has to look into this issue.

Finally after several days i m seeing my boarding passes on my Nexus 6 Phone and i assume that it was some issue at United side or may be Google now.

I got my Android 5.0.1 Update yesterday night so that can be a reason.

But what ever the reason was i m happy that i can now get them on my Moto 360.

I'm looking to get a Moto 360. Practically speaking, would the mobile BP on a wristwatch work? Most united gate readers I've seen don't have enough space to jam an arm+watch underneath and still be read.
