Whether you are a new hire heading to your first assignment or a captain trading bases, a move means more than just a new address. We help you think through every part of it.
Every base is different. Houston offers affordability and no state income tax. Chicago has strong trip quality. San Francisco is the highest-cost base in the system. We have detailed guides for all 10 United bases, with neighborhood breakdowns, commute analysis, and cost-of-living data.
Browse base guidesBefore you decide where to live, know what commuting actually costs. Our calculator accounts for crash pads, deadhead flights, parking, hotels, and schedule type (lineholder vs. reserve) to give you a real monthly and annual number.

From base trade announcement to closing and move-in, we map out every step. Knowing what comes next, and when, takes the stress out of the process.
