United Airlines is giving more wireless access to flight information by adding real-time access to travel information such as city guides, maps and weather reports via hand-held devices.The airline has said that it is partnering with iAnywhere, a subsidiary of Sybase, through its AvantGo mobile Internet service to make this information available to customers.

United said that the new feature offers United’s flight and other travel information in a user-friendly format for customers on their hand-held devices and customers can view flight status, itinerary information, Mileage Plus summary and more.

The newly available travel information for United customers is part of the AvantGo Travel Guide, a feature of AvantGo’s free mobile Internet service for smartphones and PDAs.
