I booked a United flight, rewards ticket from EWR-LAX for JUNE 7th. Not on the same reservation, but traveling with me will be my wife who has Silver elite status. We just found out that we need to leave a day earlier, June 6th. You think if she calls United maybe they will waive the change fee for me or at least reduce it? any tips how to go about this, do the agents at the end of the day have lee-way or its stone written what they can and cant do? thanks!
