United MileagePlus members can now recover deleted travel segments in the Trips timeline; the action now hides the segment rather than removing it permanently

## Summary

United Airlines has updated its MileagePlus Trips tool behavior for deleting travel segments. Previously, deleting a segment removed it from the timeline. Under the new rule, deleting a segment simply hides it, allowing members to recover it later by clicking 'Show Deleted Segments'. This change helps members avoid losing itinerary data when editing award bookings or multi-segment trips

## Why it matters

Affects 5 airline programs (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, JAL...). Spans 2 hotel programs (Hilton Honors, World of Hyatt). Card-issuer angle via Capital One, Chase.
