Of course.... I think $200
That's for canceling the ticket, not changing.

Then what's the point of booking united with them?
Some people voted UR on another thread better then MR because booking united.
But if you need a ticket from one min to next you could book with aeroplan transfers instantly could book on the spot and only $90 to change award booking.
And if you transfer in advance to ANA you could have really good deals.
Or you could transfer to SQ to book UA.

Do all of these have the same avail then united themselves?

If you cancel within 24 hours it's free and there are plenty of routes it's cheaper to book with UA then AC.

Thought you'd never ask.

There is currently an SQ A380 operating SIN-MEL.

Just a last minute equipment change or something that I'm missing?

They don't officially yank the A380 off MEL for another 6-7 weeks or so.
