United Flight 85 Overbooked
« on: October 19, 2014, 02:51:22 PM »
we have a ticket on UA85 this coming Tuesday, and the flight is overbooked, I would like to volunteer to be bumped and fly next week, and even forgo the compensation, they would not let me do it today, "only at check-in".  any way around it????? I just don't want to be charged the change fee ($350.00)

They're not going to do it prior to check in, as it may in fact turn out that the flight is not overbooked once accounting for no-shows.

You're only hope is to do it at check in, as the agent said.

They'll often tell you over phone.
