which is not. I thought that UA stopped doing that and would now issue a flight credit for the residual value.
yes, you get an FFC for balance. IIRC, they never took that out after they instituted during COVID, but issued an overriding policy giving back residual. Have used that, and checked and still there even on an all domestic itin. You’d think they would have gotten rid of that for now, but yet it’s still there, technically.
