Cancelling United Ticket

Cancelling United Ticket

Tiffany! Hope you’re having a great holiday season!

QQ. Thinking about booking last minute ticket for tomorrow afternoon on united. Would it still be refundable within 24hours? Not 100% clear to me but it seems 24H rule only applies to ticket before 7 days of departure.

If that is true, do you know refund policy for last minute ticket?

Thanks,
J

UA’s website does not have the 7-day language: [URL]http://thepointsguy.com/2016/02/airline-hold-and-cancellation-policies/[/URL]
but it seems like tickets now carry it:

I wouldn’t count on the 24 hour rule being available unless you want to spend a lot of time fighting based on the website. Absent that normal cancellation rules (based on your booking rules and spelled out in your ticket) would apply..
