MileagePuls Award changes fee
I see on United.com that
But
In my eyes changing a stopover invloves other flights which based on line its free 21 days out, but on the other ahnd it has a fee, can someone help me out? If I book now a ticket but seats open up on an othe airline (same orgin and dest.) will I be charged? (I'm not an elite)
PHP Code:
Adding, changing or deleting a connection, 21 days or more prior to departure No fee No fee No fee No fee
PHP Code:
Changing the cabin, award type, or changing a flight to a different airline, regardless of departure date $75 $50 $25 No fee

I believe United used to have a rule (like American) where you had to use an award ticket within one year of when it was booked.
On April 10, 2012 I booked a flight for March 8,2013. I just changed the March 8,2013 flight to May 25,2013 ( same route) at no charge , seems you can also do this online wthout calling now.
I believe in the past that the ticket had to be used by April 10, 2013. It didn't even hit me until after I made the change and saw the May 25, 2013 flight date with an April 10,2012 booking date.

I was under the impression that routing changes were always free 21 days prior to departure. Did something change recently?
