American Airlines is making it easier and more intuitive for customers stuck in a travel bind. The carrier on Tuesday announced updates to its mobile app, which will offer customers instant rebooking options, real-time baggage tracking and a host of other improvements.<\/p>\n

The app overhaul aims to give passengers a one-stop shop to manage flight disruptions, the carrier shared with TPG.<\/p>\n

Going forward, passengers will be able to make changes to their flights through what the airline called a “self-service flow” \u2014 including obtaining digital hotel and meal vouchers when the airline is offering them.<\/p>\n

Passengers will also be able to track bags in real time, and book both Uber and Lyft rides right in the app.<\/p>\n

Some of these changes are improvements to services American already offered through its app. Others are entirely new, and should make the experience more seamless for travelers when they run into flight trouble.<\/p>\n

“We strive to make every customer’s travel as smooth as possible, but we recognize things don’t always go to plan. When that happens, customers deserve transparent information and real-time tools to get their travel back on track,” Heather Garboden, American’s chief customer officer, said in a statement shared with TPG. “We’re giving travelers real-time options, real control and real peace of mind when they need it most.”<\/p>\n

Among the changes American flyers will notice to the airline’s app, the carrier is simplifying how it displays flight changes with a color-coded system:<\/p>\n
