Is EWR - BOM - HKG a valid routing, and would it price out as only 35k OW in Y even if doing it TATL?

I booked an award flight. Trying to change it. The flight shows as available, but when I click on reservations and try to change it, it doesn't show up??? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Can I cancel a reservation within 24hr of booking (within 7 days of flight) without any fees?

IME technically they can charge you since it was within 7 days but practically YMMV

There's really nothing to argue about. All cancellations/changes within 24 hours with UA are free. End of story.

so in other words the airlines that choose to provide a full refund within 24 hours of booking even for flights booked 7 days or before are going beyond letter of the law?

I just canceled my award ticket after 24hrs. Rep told me that there would be no fee but miles would take 7-14 days to go back into my account. I confirmed w/ her 3 times during the call about no fee. I just logged into my account and there's an option to put the miles back into my account but it will charge me. Should I call again? Or should I wait a week and see what happens?

Is the ticket still active?
