Common questions
Will I get a refund?
Refund and credit eligibility is set by United Airlines based on your fare and the reason for the change. Your agent explains what applies but cannot guarantee a refund.
What if United canceled my flight?
Call as soon as you can. An agent looks for the next available United option with you, and nothing is rebooked without your approval.
Can I cancel my reservation over the phone?
Yes. Give your confirmation code and the traveler last name. Your agent reviews the consequences with you before anything is canceled.
