Have to admit that this is one of my favorite benefits with UA MP. I keep tweaking my itineraries as better flights open up and it's always free**. Oh, and I can do the tweaking myself on line, so I'm not taking up precious agents' time.
Today, I booked a one way BKK-YYZ reward (back up ticket) just in case my $245 RGN-YUL biz class ticket gets cancelled (I received an unnerving call from TL yesterday even though ticket looks fine on line). If TL ticket stays good, I can cancel the insurance ticket for free. ^ Oh and the taxes on this TG/LH ticket were $77.
Are you listening AE?
** Should clarify that this is now changing. All changes/cancellations remain free for 1K and Plat members. But there will be a $25-100 fee for lower tier members.
