United Airlines Permanently Eliminates Change Fees

The carrier announced on Aug. 30 that it is permanently getting rid of change fees on all standard economy and premium cabin tickets for travel within the U.S., effective immediately. And starting on Jan. 1, 2021, any United customer can fly standby for free on a flight departing the day of their travel regardless of the type of ticket or class of service, a first among U.S. carriers, while MileagePlus Premier members can confirm a seat on a different flight on the same day with the same departure and arrival cities as their original ticket if a seat in the same ticket fare class is available.
