Do I have to wait for it to be ticketed in order to do the trick, or I can call in as soon as I complete the booking?

Thanks.
Just worked for me for a last minute ticket. Easy, 1 2 3...
3 hours prior to departure I looked up for 2 saver seats, booked for next month, PUTPAC'd, changed, done. Took around 5-7 minutes.

Just wondering, card was charged just $5, receipt says $5, but under my reservations it says: Service Fee - $300.00
                                                                                                                                                     Additional taxes/fees - $5.00
                                                                                                                                                     Total Price - XXX Miles and $155.00
What does that mean?

common error.

Sorry to rehash this just trying to understand...

1) If I book a ticket for 25 days I can then go online and attempt to change it (within the 24 hours) to a flight that's less then 21 days and avoid the Close in fee?

2) If My friend used his miles for this ticket can I go and change it myself or does it have to be from his account?

Thank You

One of my flight times changed by 5 min. Anybody think they would waive the redeposit fee for that?
5 min earlier. Trying to use it that maybe I will miss the connections.

Where the flights to and how long is the connection time?

Why do you want to redeposit?

Based on the United Award Change Fee below- what will it cost a non-premier to change the Origin City AND the Date AND the Airline (within 21 days)? For example from PHL-TLV to EWR to TLV?
$75 or $150?

Is the 21 day rule based on the current date on the ticket or the new date (or both)?

http://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/mileageplus/awards/travel/ticketing.aspx

Didnt want to start a new thread.... but is there a wiki or a post somwhere that compares the fees for award changes /cancellations ?

maybe comparing BA, AA, United, SW (no fees) ...

I know I've seen post about fuel surcharges and stuff when Dan post about getting to israel and stuff....
Pleas hold. Your call will be answered in the order it was received.
