United Airlines Refundable Flights

To find United refundable flights, use Alternative Airlines' easy and comparable site. Using the search form at the top of the page, fill in the required details and hit 'Search Flights'. Once you have selected the flight you wish to take, above the contact details you'll be shown if the flight you have chosen is eligible for a refund or if its non-refundable. Although non-refundable flights are cheap to purchase, tickets are non-changeable, whereas refundable flights are more flexible and allow you to cancel your flight with only the cost of a cancellation fee.

United has a 24-hour policy, where you can cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking at no extra cost.

If you have brought our Cancellation Protection when you booked your flight, you can request a refund through the 'claim your refund' page. In order to receive a full refund, you must present proof as to why you were unable to make your flight. You are able to cancel a United refundable flight for a refund minus any cancellation fees. If you have purchased a non-refundable flight you'll not entitle to a refund.

If you are looking to cancel your flight, head to 'Manage Booking' or contact us and a member of the Customer Service Team will be able to assist you.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible for a refund of your non-refundable flight ticket. However, United does offer a 24-hour free cancellation policy where you are able to cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking.

We suggest that you buy Cancellation Protection when booking your flight, as it's trouble-free and it gives you flexibility on your flight. With Cancellation Protection you can receive a full refund if you cannot make your flight due to any unforeseen circumstance.
