UA - 75 to change within 3 hours, 50 to change 15 minutes prior...
(AA/DL free for all elites. CO offers a 25 discount for golds. Only UA and US charge full price for low/mid elites.)
UA just went from the best standby, to having the worst of all legacies. I wonder if I can get this on a napkin, along with the #1 on-time message.
Good analysis. As 1K for a few years now, I hadn't really paid attention to these fees, but it is unfortunate that United has given away another area in which it was better than the others. Inevitable, I suppose.
