I was super excited, and then I realized that this design matched one of the designs in a #flyerfriendly ad:
This #flyerfriendly ad shows a new website, that seems to work beautiful on the iPad.
So a few days later I asked United if they were going to update their iOS app for iOS7, and they said, "Stay Tuned." As a guess, I believe they are about to release all new apps, launch the new website, and roll out the new kiosks very quickly.
All I can hope at this point is that they let me have a sneak peak at the new site!
But, hey, I'm just some guy who likes to look at airplanes, so what do I know?

I attended a meeting one day several months ago in a room where the web team must've been doing their design work and concepts because what I saw was amazing. In my own opinion if course I think the new website is going to be amazing just from the look I got at some of the screenshots and concept boards. I do think, again my opinion, though there was a realization that a beautiful functional website is great but it's not the only face of your company. The app has taken off in its current form that it too needs to be just a functional and sleek as what you can view on a computer. I was able to sneak preview the new ad campaign, kiosks, and recently announced seat redesign and proud to say I'm glad to see the direction UA is headed.
FlyGuyMike, Thank you for this insight! I love what you have to say, and I'm very excited about what United has to offer!
