Change to a flight time
« on: July 14, 2013, 01:35:52 PM »
I have a reservation on a United award from tlv-nyc through vienna. I was checking on my reservation and I noticed that united changed the time of the flight from vienna-nyc. Will they allow me to change my booking to the tlv-nyc direct flight on UA even though there is no saver award availability ( although there is standard award availability)?

Thanks!

I did try. The agents keep saying that since it is only a 10 minute change they won't allow me to change the reservation at all.
Any tips for what to say to them to get them to change the flights?

I was just able to cancel a ticket about a week ago because of a five minute change. No change fees or cancellation fees were charged

I even got compensation for an advanced scheduled change.
IIRC, it was not more than a half hour...
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
