I still don’t understand this insane United policy. (In fact, Alaska rep told me I can cancel the reservation as late as one hour prior to scheduled departure!) The alternate flight must be for your same origin and destination and your flight change can only be confirmed within 24 hours of departure of the desired flight. AA recently changed the time to 240 minutes for new flights booked after April (eye roll. Same-day flight change allows you to confirm a seat on a different flight on your day of departure on any American Airlines and/or American Eagle flight where eligible seats are available. American Airlines has had a long standing policy that you could cancel your flight and receive a refund if your flight schedule changed by greater than 60 minutes. So this seems to be my solution: Book a return using Alaska miles, wait until a day before I decide to depart for USA, then book on United miles and cancel the Alaska reservation. I recently had a crAAppy experience cancelling an AA flight booked through Amex Travel. I also book overseas travel via Alaska miles – never a fee for changes. Am I missing something here? (That may be why there are always a substantial number of mileage seats available from Europe to USA!) The carrier has no change fees if you purchase its add-on option called The Works and Flight Flexibility. That climbs to a 99 fee within seven days of departure. However, there’s a 49 change fee from 59 to seven days from departure. If I keep extending my United mileage ticket, it seems that each extension will cost $125. If the airline cancels the flight, and you cant be rebooked to arrive within two hours of your original arrival time, you can request a full refund to your original form of payment. Frontier imposes no change fees for flights more than 60 days from departure. People probably change the return TO US much more often that the departure FROM the USA. The United rep could not explain the “why” of this rule. However, when I read the rules for changing from Europe to USA, I was surprised to see there is a $125 fee for changes made less than 30 days from departure. Are traveling on an American Airlines flight Are booked in any fare class, including Basic Economy Bought your ticket by JAre scheduled to travel JCan travel July 12 - 16, 2023 Dont change your origin or destination city Rebook in the same cabin or pay the difference Keep in mind: Changes must be booked by July.
