United warning

Oh no! So sorry to hear that. When we’re you supposed to leave? I’ve been reading that the best thing to do for booked flights is to wait for the airline to cancel so they have to give you a refund. If you cancel before them, you can only get a credit.

View Quoted Comment Definitely! Unfortunately, you would’ve had to wait about 72 hrs before your trip date and you could’ve gotten a full refund.

View Quoted Comment That’s not their policy at all, despite what the header on the website says. In fact, it only takes about a cursory glance at their actual cancellation policy to learn that. Appreciate your “devotion”to united airlines PR campaign as opposed to researched commentary. I’m glad what you’ve “been reading” supercedes what they’ve told me directly after hours on hold with them. Thanks, Lisa!

View Quoted Comment I definitely didn’t intend to upset you. I’m not devoted to United in any way. I actually use Southwest for most of my flights. I recently booked a trip through United for my makeup artist due to flight scheduling and read up on their policy. I may have misunderstood it though so I’ll double check. Hope things get better for you!

View Quoted Comment Sorry it’s been a tense day and I don’t want anyone to be in the same place I am in! I also don’t want anyone to have to wait and still get nowhere!

Oh, no.....our flights for our honeymoon are on United. Granted it's for June, but is definitely a concern and more so now after hearing your experience. Not really thrilled with having to potentially wait until the last minute to have to cancel our honeymoon just so we don't get slammed with cancellation fees. And I doubt it's something our trip insurance that we've had since before the pandemic would cover.

View Quoted Comment Hopefully all of this is over by June! Wishing you the best of luck!
