★★★★★

“Weather grounded our connection in Denver. I called instead of waiting at the gate desk — the specialist had us on the next flight before we'd finished walking to the new terminal. Seven minutes, total.”

Most travelers say it was easier than they expected.

1

Common questions

Before you call

Quick answers to what most travelers want to know first.

What kinds of bookings can a specialist handle? +
New United® tickets, flight changes, cancellations, rebookings after a schedule change, multi-city or international itineraries, seat selection, cabin class adjustments, baggage questions, and travel disruptions — all handled live on a single call.
Is there a charge to call? +
The phone call is toll-free. If a booking, change, or cancellation involves carrier-imposed fare differences or airline change rules, the specialist will walk you through every applicable item before anything is confirmed — nothing is charged without your explicit approval.
What hours are agents available? +
Live specialists are available Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM EST. In the rare event of high call volume, you'll simply be next in line.
How long does an average call take? +
Most calls run roughly four minutes. Same-day rebookings tied to disruptions are usually faster; complex multi-traveler or codeshare itineraries can run longer. The specialist will tell you upfront if your request needs more time.
Will I be transferred or stuck in a phone menu? +
No menu trees. You reach a live specialist directly, and calls are typically handled end-to-end by one specialist — transfers are only used when a supervisor or partner-airline desk is genuinely required to resolve your request.
Is sharing my card details on the phone safe? +
Payment handling follows industry-standard card security practices. Card details are encrypted at capture and are not retained in plain text after the transaction completes. Your specialist will explain every step before any charge is processed.
Can a specialist help with last-minute or same-day bookings? +
Yes. Same-day bookings, last-minute rebookings, and disruption recovery are the calls a live specialist handles fastest — usually quicker than navigating an online flow.
What if I just want to ask a question? +
Specialists handle informational calls with the same care as bookings. Ask about baggage rules, seat eligibility, route options, or anything else. There is no obligation to book.

Still wondering? Just ask a human.

A 60-second call usually beats 15 minutes of reading.
