Change a paid United reservation

There might be a situation where you want to change your upcoming United   AirLines reservation instead of cancelling. While this is possible for some reservations, the structure works similarly to cancelling and rebooking.

As I discussed above, there are three different reservation types: basic economy, nonrefundable and refundable.

Basic economy tickets do not allow flight changes. Instead, you'll need to cancel your United   flight (with the associated fees discussed above) and then book your desired flight.

But, you can change non refundable and refundable reservations without going through the hassle of cancelling and rebooking. You'll be charged the same fees as cancelling a flight for nonrefundable fares ($0 to $500, depending on where the flight originates). But, for fully refundable flights, there's no fee to change your flight.

If the flight price has gone up, you'll need to pay the fare difference in both circumstances. But, if your flight has gone down in price, you'll end up with an eCredit for the difference in the price paid and the new fare cost. According to the United   refund policy, fully refundable flights will receive the price difference back to their form of payment.

Even if you're not looking to change your flight, if you notice that your originally scheduled flight has gone down in price, you can go through the change process to receive the difference back. To do this, select your same flight by following the "change flight" process below.

Change a United   reservation booked with miles -[1-855-929-5019]

Changing a United   reservation booked with miles follows the same policies as paid reservations. As such, basic economy awards can't be changed and instead need to be canceled (with the respective fees) and then rebooked.

You can change to a different flight for no fee on all other tickets. However, you'll need to pay the difference in miles if your flight costs more. Alternatively, if the number of miles required has dropped, you'll receive the difference back into your account. Similar to paid fares, this policy will help you reprice an award ticket if your flight has decreased in miles.

Change a United   reservation within 24 hours of travel -[1-855-929-5019]

In 2021, United   made customer-friendly improvements for those looking to change their flight last minute — which means within 24 hours of the originally scheduled departure. There are two options for flights within the United   States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: same-day confirmed and same-day standby.

If your flight has gone up in price, utilising one of these two options will save you more money than simply changing your flight to the more expensive flight. Unfortunately, these options are not available if you have a basic economy ticket.

For same-day confirmed changes, if a seat in your originally purchased fare class (or a downgraded fare class) is available, you can change your ticket to a confirmed seat on a new flight (for the same day of travel with the same the departure and arrival cities). The cost is $75, or complimentary for those with United   Diamond, Platinum or Gold status. You can confirm a same-day seat through your account on the United   App.

If the same-day confirmed option isn't available, you can use same-day standby to wait for a seat on an earlier flight on the same day as your original flight. United   will keep your original reservation intact unless it can assign you a seat on the earlier flight. There is no fee for this option.

How to change a United   flight -[1-855-929-5019]

Changing an United   flight can be done online through your United   account. The start of the process is similar to if you were to cancel your flight.

In your United   account's "My trip" section, you'll see your upcoming flights. Similar to cancelling a flight, you'll want to click the "Modify" button in the specific itinerary you need to change. You'll then want to select the "Start flight change" button.

Once you select your new flight, the right-side rail will inform you of the difference in miles — if there is a difference — and your total cost or refund. United  s will also tell you if there's a difference in the taxes and fees. You then must click the "Complete change" button on the bottom to confirm your change. 

Change fee waivers for a schedule change -[1-855-929-5019]

United   AirLines goes through schedule changes quite often. If you have a flight that you need to cancel or change, you might be better off waiting to see if there is a schedule change. After all, a schedule change may let you change or cancel your flight easier or with fewer fees.

Even though America has done away with most fees, a few ticket types still incur a fee, such as basic economy tickets. But, a schedule change may let you change to another flight with no fare difference. It can also allow you to get a full refund to your original form of payment — if you want to cancel — instead of an eCredit.

Related: What to do when an airline changes your flight

Usually, you'll receive an email when there's a schedule change. United  s will usually notify you if your flight qualifies for a fee waiver. Or, if you see one of the following situations occur, you can call United   and request a new flight as well:

• A delay of 120 minutes or more.

• A change in the routing of a scheduled United   flight that adds one or more stops to the original itinerary.

• A change in equipment from United   Mainline to United   Connection carrier.

• Any change that causes a misconnect.

• If a flight cancels and no comparable or acceptable routing is available within 120 minutes.

If any of the above situations happen, you can opt for a new flight on the same day as the originally scheduled flight. The flight has to be the same origin and destination and the same class of service. Previously, United   allowed you to change to a flight one day before or after, but this is no longer the case.

The above scenarios may also unlock the possibility of a full refund on a nonrefundable ticket.

Bottom line

United 's cancellation policy is now extremely customer friendly if you need to cancel or change an upcoming flight. For flights originating in North America, there's no fee to cancel a flight as long as you don't hold a basic economy ticket.

Thanks to the current United   refund policy, paid fares will receive an eCredit (unless you booked a fully refundable fare) and those booked on miles will see the full amount of miles deposited back into their account.

Although United   used to have one of the most stringent policies, it's nice to see that it has come around to making flight cancellations and changes easier for its members. This helps travellers book a flight even if they aren't 100% sure of their upcoming plans — especially when redeeming miles.

How to cancel a United flight - a step-by-step guide

The easiest way to cancel a United Air flight is online. Visit United.com and make sure you have your booking confirmation number to hand. You’ll find this on the email entitled ‘Your Flight Receipt’ sent to you after booking. Then, follow these steps¹:

1. Go to My Trips on the United website

2. To locate your trip - enter your name, confirmation number, credit/debit card number, or your ticket number

3. Click ‘Need to Cancel?’ on the Trip Details page

4. Select ‘Start Flight Cancellation’ and follow the steps to complete the cancellation process.

Is it possible to cancel a United Air flight and get a refund?

United Air does offer refunds for cancellation, but only in particular circumstances. Whether you can get your money back can depend on when you booked and what type of ticket you have.

Cancel within the first 24 hours²

United has a 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation Policy in place. This gives you the right to a full refund with no fees if you cancel your flight within the first 24 hours after booking. It gives you a chance to change your mind, which is useful if your plans change suddenly, or you’ve made a mistake with your booking.

To get your refund, you’ll need to have a qualifying eTicket. This is one purchased through the United website, or at an official United ticket office or airport ticket counter.

Go through the same process as above to cancel your booking on the United website. You should receive a full refund automatically issued to the original payment method.

Cancel a refundable ticket²

If you bought a refundable ticket, you’ll simply need to cancel your upcoming flight at United.com.

Then, still in the My Trips area of the website, request a refund. The payment will be issued to your original payment method. You should also be able to see the status of any refund requests here.

Cancel a non-refundable ticket²

Have a non-refundable ticket? Unfortunately, if you cancel, you won’t be able to receive a refund sent back to your original payment method.

But there is some good news. You can still redeem some of the value of your ticket, minus cancellation fees (we’ll look at these in more detail next). You’ll get an eCredit which you can put towards a future flight booking with United.

Does United charge cancellation fees?

United Air does charge cancellation fees for certain non-refundable tickets. These start from $99² depending on the itinerary for your booking. This will be deducted from any eCredit you receive after cancelling your flight.

However, there are some exceptions to this policy. You won’t be charged a cancellation fee if²:

• You buy a United Main Cabin or above ticket for travel within the US, Puerto Rico or US Virgin Islands

• You buy a United Main Cabin or above ticket for flights taking off from the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa or the Caribbean to anywhere in the world.

How to amend a United Air flight

If you don’t want to cancel your flight altogether, you can amend it instead. This can also be a good option for people with non-refundable tickets, who want to swerve the cancellation fee.

United no longer charges change fees for flights originating from the US, Canada, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean³. You may still have to pay the difference in price, if any.

However, you may pay fees to amend your booking if your flight originates anywhere outside these named regions. If you make changes during the 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation Period, you’ll only have to pay any difference in price³.

Now, here’s how to make a change to your United flight¹:

1. Head to My Trips on the United website

2. Enter your confirmation number to locate your trip

3. On the Trip Details page, select ‘Change or Add Flights’

4. View and select new flight options

5. You’ll be shown any difference in price along with applicable change fees. If the new flight costs less, you may be issued with a United eCredit.

6. Pay any additional costs and confirm the change.
