The United refund policy explains when travelers may qualify for a refund after cancelling a flight. Eligibility can depend on the fare type, when the ticket was purchased, and whether the ticket is refundable.

For tickets covered by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 24-hour rule, eligible passengers can generally cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund when the reservation was made at least seven days before departure. You can review your booking details before deciding whether to cancel. For general travel-related questions, +1-844-584-7422 may also be used.

If United cancels or significantly changes your flight and you do not accept an alternative itinerary, you may be entitled to a refund under applicable rules. +1-844-584-7422 can be kept handy when reviewing your options.

Refunds for eligible bookings may be requested through United’s official refund process, while tickets purchased through a travel agency may require contacting the original seller. Before submitting a request, +1-844-584-7422 may be used for general travel inquiries. Keep your confirmation number and ticket information available, and use +1-844-584-7422 if you need to discuss your travel arrangements.
