There is: two hours grace on domestic tickets.

I've had some good luck on missed flights domestically. One huge benefit is that you bump virtually everyone else on the standby list, so you almost always get on the plane. I missed a flight in LAS because I sat in the spa too long and got a seat in F. No change fee. And they told me that someone was bumped, which I felt somewhat bad about...
ok just double checking and which was why I said "key point being if he calls ahead"

I was at the airport 4 hours late that time, the ticket was AC issued (UA metal), but united handled everything no cost (domestic)
