United Changes Mileage Plus Award Fees

This post is copied from a press release of United Airlines Mileage Plus program. Planning award travel? Please note some important changes to award fees. As we continue the changes under way at United Airlines® and Continental Airlines, we're revising certain Mileage Plus and OnePass® award fees to make them consistent across both programs. For General members, most award fees are going down or staying the same. However, please note that we have reinstated a fee for booking an award ticket less than 21 days prior to departure (a "close-in award booking fee"). Below are the key changes that apply to General members effective June 15, 2011: Before June 15, 2011 On or after June 15, 2011 Close-in award booking fee USD 0 USD 75 Change to your origin or destination city USD 150 USD 75 Adding or removing a connection city USD 150 USD 75 Importantly, please note there is still no charge for changing the date or time of your award ticket as long as your routing does not change.
