Linking my KTN to MileagePlus NonRev Passrider
Question. As of January 1st I’ll have passrider privileges on United. My question is can I link my KTN somehow when I get a standby BP? Will my mileage plus info and KTN that’s currently in my United app be on an updated app that shows flight loads etc?

My main concern is that I will no longer be able to use my Precheck and Global entry perks when flying standby.

Thank you for any help in this matter.

Yes, your KTN can be entered in your pass travel profile, so you'll have pre-check on the standby BP. The employee sponsoring you can help you with this. Global Entry works fine flying standby.

Agreed-I have friends of mine where she is UA retired and both she and her husband have Global Entry and their KTN's are stored their UA non-rev profiles

Small pedantic note: KTN doesn't matter for Global Entry itself. The passport you check in with, and subsequently use at the Global Entry machine, is what matters, when using Global Entry to cross the border.

Case in point: Global Entry was usable even before airlines like LH and LX added KTN fields (they only added KTN fields for Precheck).

So my KTN needs to added in the employeeRES on my profile?

I just read that a Passrider Login can be created by the employee for me. Will that login be used to make changes to my profile? IE., I add my KTN info.

Thanks

This feature is only for employees. There is no way to link a passrider's MP# to their SA tickets. There is a field to add KTN for pass riders.

You can continue to use the United App to check in after adding the PNR manually, change seats (if available and not under gate control), and change flights.

You really should be asking your sponsor these sorts of questions, though.

Yes, when you get your log in there will be a section for "Profile"

You can add your KTN, Passport etc there.

No problems with precheck or global on stand by tickets.
