I'm sorry, I'm still not clear on whether I am going to get charged. Is the underlying fare the one for the ticket I cancelled or for the new ticket? If it's for the new one and they are maintaining change fees for flights originating outside the US, it sounds like I'm going to be charged even though the original ticket had a change fee waiver. Is that right?
*Just talked to United chat and they said because my original ticket had a change fee waiver, I will not have a change fee when I rebook, even if it's an ex-Europe flight.
