UA Schedule Change
« on: November 02, 2014, 01:23:05 PM »
If UA changed my flight schedule by 2 mins, will I have a problem cancelling the award ticket without a fee?

Personally as long there was ANY changes I manage to change without a fee.

+1. And sometimes I cancel without a fee as well. I've even been able to get vouchers for no changes (my latest excuse: Didn't realize I couldn't get kosher meal on flight), but YMMV

Not enough time between connecting flight.

Gives me positive vibes for a 5 minute change on AA.

Trying to cancel non refundable tickets due to flight time change. Departure and Return were changed by roughly 30 minutes on American Airlines. Any advice or help greatly appreciated.

Was it a UA ticket and a different AA ticket or just one AA ticket?

Apologies for that. It was 3 AA tickets departing from NY and 3 returning to NY. Both had time changes for the flights. All are AA flights. Didn't want to start a new thread for the same topic.

Ahh. you should be able to. Might require some HUCA. Find a good story why the change makes you need to cancel.

they are possibly offering me vouchers good for 1 year. Is that worth taking? Can I sell those to someone else to recoup some of teh funds?
