Understanding United's Cancellation Policy
Cancellation rules can be complex. Here's what our agents help you navigate.
The 24-Hour Rule
Most tickets (except Basic Economy) can be canceled for a full refund within 24 hours of booking. Call us immediately to process this for you.
Refundable vs. Non-Refundable
We'll instantly check your fare rules. Refundable tickets can be canceled anytime for a full refund. Non-refundable tickets are often eligible for a future flight credit.
Basic Economy Rules
Basic Economy tickets are typically non-refundable and non-changeable after the 24-hour window. Our agents can review any exceptions you might qualify for.
Airline Schedule Changes
If United changed *your* flight time significantly (e.g., by 2+ hours) or changed the aircraft, you are often entitled to a full refund. We can check this for you.

Flight Cancellation Questions
Will I get a refund for my United flight?
This depends entirely on your ticket type. Our agents will review your fare rules to determine if you are eligible for a refund to your original payment method or a future flight credit.
Can I cancel a United Basic Economy ticket?
Basic Economy tickets are highly restrictive. After the 24-hour booking window, they are typically non-refundable. Our agents can review your specific ticket for any rare exceptions and advise you on any available options.
How do I use a United Future Flight Credit?
Using a flight credit can be confusing, as they have specific rules. Our agents are experts at this. We can look up your credit's terms and help you apply its full value toward a new flight booking.
How long is my United flight credit valid for?
This depends on the original ticket's policy, but most credits are valid for one year from the original *issue* date. We strongly recommend calling our team so we can help you verify the exact expiration date with the airline.
What if I just want to cancel part of my trip?
If you need to cancel your return flight but keep your outbound, our agents can handle this. We will contact the airline to make the partial cancellation and see what value, if any, can be saved as a credit.
What is your service fee?
We charge a service fee for our expert, time-saving concierge service. This fee is in addition to any charges from the airline (like fare differences). The exact amount depends on the complexity of your request and will be clearly explained by our agent before you are charged anything.
Why shouldn't I just call the airline myself?
You certainly can, but our customers choose us to save time and frustration. We eliminate long hold times and have expert knowledge of airline policies to resolve your issue efficiently. We handle the hassle so you don't have to.
