News and notes from around the internet:

United Airlines' automated seat switching tool assisted 18,000 passengers in July, achieving a 40% success rate. This tool benefits the average traveler but may reduce opportunities for those who previously managed seat assignments manually.

A United Airlines passenger shared their experience of receiving over $600 for delayed bags, covering expenses incurred over three days. The bag was not transferred in San Francisco, causing it to miss connections to Bangkok and Phuket on Thai Airways. The passenger had to arrange pickup from Phuket airport personally. Another case reported a payout of $1,544.16 for clothing reimbursement due to delayed bags.
