How can I check in online for an international United flight if my passport is extended?
Yesterday I've faced an unusual conundrum: for some asinine reason United won't let you check in online unless you download their app and take a photo of your passport. Supposedly they use the photo to verify your visa status. However my problem is that my passport is extended, which means there's two pages you need to check to verify the passport validity, so the app refuses to let me check in online as it only uploads one photo.
Is there a way to circumvent the apps restrictions and check in online in my scenario?
