United Airlines has a flexible cancellation policy that depends on the type of ticket purchased. For most tickets, if you cancel within 24 hours of booking, you are eligible for a full refund, provided the reservation was made at least one week before the scheduled departure. After the 24-hour window, cancellations may be subject to fees, and the amount refunded will depend on the fare rules associated with the ticket. For refundable tickets, customers can request a full refund, while non-refundable tickets usually offer a travel credit or refund, minus a fee. Additionally, United allows changes to be made to flight dates or times, often with a change fee, unless the flight is canceled by the airline or falls under certain flexible conditions like those related to COVID-19.
