Does award travel on *A partners have any associated fees with cancel and redeposit? Say if I find some LH F space, I could book it now with UA miles to secure the spot but cancel later with no penalty if my plans change? I think the answer is yes, but want to confirm. Thank you!

yes. Back in the day, you used to be required to cancel partner segments 24 hours or more prior to departure. That was many years ago.

I'm 99% sure I know the answer, but giving the advice to a friend so want to triple check: For a partner award, there is no 'x hours before departure' cancellation requirement other than before they would be marked as a no-show? So they would be marked as a no-show if not checked in on time or if not boarded on time, but United doesn't have any policy beyond "cancel before marked as a no-show" for partner awards, correct?
