United Airlines (UA) allows passengers to cancel their flights within 24 hours of booking. There are no penalties whatsoever.

For expert assistance with UA flights, call our team at +1-844-522-6968 and overcome unexpected schedule changes.

For airline-caused cancellations, you're entitled to a full refund. The airline will issue a refund to the original payment method. The rule applies to all ticket types.
