Using Cancelled Ticket to Pay for United Codeshare

I recently cancelled a nonrefundable itinerary that was made up of United and United codeshare flights. Can I apply the value of this ticket (minus the $100 change fee) to the purchase of a United codeshare flight or must my new itinerary be on UA/UX metal only?

Your best bet is to rebook with the same codeshare type flights that were in the original itin. Like lets say it was a UA operated by US Air. or UA operated by Lufthansa. Rebook what was originally in it and you should be fine. Just make sure that the ticket numbers begin with 016, otherwise that involves another situation.

The credit itself will last 1 year from the date that it was originally ticketed on. So lets say 20 FEB 2007 was when you purchased your ticket, and got ticketed, then 1 year from that date.

As long as you book through United, so a ticket on UA stock, it doesn't matter if it is codeshare or not.

A related question: can you use the value of a refundable fare to pay for a non-refundable ticket, paying the difference if the nonrefundable fare happens to be more expensive than the refundable one is?

In particular, I'm looking to use the value of a refundable domestic ticket to help pay for a nonrefundable international United codeshare flight.

I know I could just refund the refundable fare, but I'd rather go about it this way.

This has been my experience on AA; I think on UA it would be the same.

Similar situation would apply if you had a mixed carrier itinerary (i.e. UA and DL flights) issued on a 016 ticket. The new ticket doesn't need to contain DL flights and you only have to pay one UA change fee.

Yes. Why would think otherwise?

Does anyone know the answer for sure?

Can I use a cancelled ticket (credit) to rebook on an United codeshare (operated by US airways)??

yes, you can. You can also use the Ua ticket for flights that are not codeshares.

Btw, the change fee is typically $150, not $100!
