If you’re considering flying with United Airlines anytime soon or already have something booked, it’s a good idea to learn the cancellation and refund rules. This way, if something comes up and your travel plans change, you’ll know how to cancel your flight.
Here’s what to know about canceling a United Airlines flight — whether you purchased the ticket outright or redeemed MileagePlus miles to book your ticket.
Which tickets can be canceled and when?
Most United tickets are technically nonrefundable, but you may have more options than meet the eye. Here is the United flight cancellation policy.
Canceling within 24 hours of booking
-
Most ticket types, including basic economy, are eligible for a full refund within 24 hours of booking so long as you booked your trip at least a week before departure and booked directly with United. This rule is due to the airline’s 24-hour flexible booking policy.
-
Your refund will be credited as cash back to your original payment unless you booked with a United Gift Certificate. If this is the case, the refund will be credited in the form of an electronic travel certificate.
-
Tickets booked using e-certificates aren't eligible.
-
If you paid a FareLock fee to hold a reservation, you can’t get that fee refunded.
