United check-ins slowed as airline reservation system goes down
United Continental Holdings Inc. experienced a major passenger reservation system failure that has blocked automated check-ins at airports and affected its website, according to FlightAware.com.
The airline confirmed a network outage affecting airports and its website Tuesday, without offering any specifics.

United can check in passengers manually while working to get its system back online, FlightAware.com Chief Executive Daniel Baker said.
