You can change your flight online or through the mobile app. You simply need to click on the option 'Change Flight' on your reservation. If there are any applicable change fees, you will see them when searching for new flights.

1. Click on the option 'My Reservations' on the website. Enter your credit card number or confirmation number and your last name. It will help you to find your original record. You may also log in to your United account and click on your itinerary. Find your new flight and select it.

2. Start the check-in process on the website using your original reservation if you wish to change to a standby status on a flight to the same destination in the next three hours.

If the earlier flight is still available, select it and state that you would like to change your status to standby. If you manage to board the earlier flight, you may need to pay a fee. You will maintain your original reservation if you don't find room in the standby flight.

3. Contact United Airlines on the phone to change Mileage Plus award tickets or Miles & Money award tickets. It is not possible to change these tickets online.

4. If you wish to switch to a same-day reservation, you may also contact the customer support team for help

5. You may get help from a representative at the airport. Approach one of them and ask for help. They may help you change your reservation or shift to an earlier flight. You may need to pay a fee if you booked your ticket through a third party.

How to Avoid Change Fees on United Airlines

In most cases, you will pay a change fee unless you buy a specific fare class. United allows refunds minus a processing fee in times of death or when a doctor says you can't travel. You may also have an advantage if the airline changes its schedule due to certain events. If there is a large schedule change, you may contact the airline on the phone and ask them to change our travel plans. Be polite and explain why the new plan is not convenient for you. You may then start to pursue a refund.

Another simple way to avoid charges is to make same-day changes. If you simply wish to change your departure time, make changes as soon as you can. The charge for same-day changes is fair.

If you booked a flight that is seven days away from departure, you have the privilege of canceling your flight with no fee if you do it within 24 hours.

If you wish to request a refund from United Airlines, you must be able to provide them with your contact information and the details of your flight. The details may include your Reservation number and eTicket number.

The Basic Economy Restriction

If you bought a basic economy ticket, United does not allow you to make changes to it. These are the most affordable tickets but they also have the fewest benefits.

If you have trouble changing your flight with United Airlines, you may seek help from their customer support team. If you want to speak with an agent, you should contact them on the phone. You will be connected with a representative in less than 30 minutes. The support team is available on the phone 24/7. You may also seek support through their help desk, Twitter, Facebook, and email.
