UA - 75 to change within 3 hours, 50 to change 15 minutes prior...
This hurts a lot.
$50 to change isn't unusually high, but needing to fly 100,000 miles in a year to get it waved is.
The good news is there is no other airline that list includes every airline UA could possibly be competing with for business travelers, especially on the west coast, so no major problems there...
This seems like one of those political stories they try to bury in the saturday morning paper.
