TSA Wait Times Predictor and Report Features Added to the Existing App

There is no doubt that the mobile app plays a big role for airlines. Now more than ever, travelers want the ability to stay informed and rely on technology to serve them during their journeys. Hence, this case study was an opportunity for me to enhance the great service delivery not only restricted onboard, but also digitally.

THE PROBLEM

Hurry up!! And wait…


Have you ever missed your flight because of the TSA lines? When working as a flight attendant, I’d seen passengers running to catch a flight they're almost about to miss, only to see that the TSA wait line is about a mile long. It happens in the airport all the time that travelers have to wait for the next available flight because they missed their tight connection flights while stuck in the TSA line.

THE SOLUTION

An Informed Traveler Is a Happier Traveler


Travelers on the go need faster, easier access to information about their flights, directions, parking, terminals, and all other knowledge concerning the airport. A TSA wait time predictor that travelers can monitor or get notified of the hubs they'll be using so they can at least get an idea of how long they’ll be standing in line and can plan accordingly.

SECONDARY RESEARCH
Uncovering Information
As this project aimed to add a conceptual feature, at the outset of the project, I began with online research and prioritized improving United's conversion rates, repeat visits, and mobile engagements. This research plan outlined goals, methodologies, participants, and timelines.
