It's all one big messy blended family now. And while the combined carrier could be amazing if it picked from the best of each carrier; I have this terror that it's more likely to be the worst of each or perhaps the cheapest of each.

I was just booking a trip for business today and saw this in the fare rules. I know it only applies for SDC on Continental and not United, but I thought it was interesting to share nonetheless (And maybe hoping the CO policy is adopted for the new 'United').

If UA has any policy like the one outlined above, then it seems possible that CO Plat who are almost equal to UA 1K (at least in the example above they are on CO ) would now be able to have a fee-free change on same day.
Anyone have any actual knowledge?
I tried looking for fare rules on a UA fare and did not get very far. Cuse44 was much luckier on the CO rules.
