That is a good point. *But I really wonder how many people buy the unrestricted tickets anyway. Those that want to be able to change them at any time. I said how many, not who buys them. But you are right those that want to change it at anytime can pay 3x more than what I paid for my ticket. What a deal... |

I said how many, not who buys them. *But you are right those that want to change it at anytime can pay 3x more than what I paid for my ticket. *What a deal... Then why are you complaining if you got such a great deal. *You're the one reneging on the deal not UA. Apparently you have never heard of sarcasm. I don't think I got a great deal but that was the market at the time not much you can do about it. Not sure where you get greedy. I think frugal or I am sure you will say cheap. I can't just throw money around, apparently I am not rich like you. I like deals as most people do and I don't like to get screwed. In MY opinion they are trying to screw me. I choose not to get screwed, because I have a choice this time. As far as your other comment. Just because they sell the lowest fare on their website does not mean it is a deeply discounted fare. Apparently you do not travel much. Getting a deeply discounted fare (by your defintion) is all luck of the game and I guess, your defintion of a discounted fare. Prices change all day long for your information. Again, I understand they are a business but that doesn't mean they need to kill you with their fees. Yes according to you I gave up the choice when I went for the "deeply discounted ticket" in your words. But, they will let me change my ticket just take it to ya when you do it. |

Well, called united and sure we can change your flight for only $100 plus the difference in the fare. *I told them they were crazy and after yelling for a bit they were able to bring it down from $180 to $150. *Just a note I could by a one way fare for just a little over $200 on their website. *So at this point not saving me a whole lot of money. Perhaps the $200 fare is more flexible?? Why were you yelling about being asked to pay what you agreed to pay? If you don't want to pay fees for changes, don't book fares that charge them. *You seem to be missing an important point. You do know that airlines offer different fares, right? Why did you think your economy fare was lower than others? The $200 fare is not more flexible, it is the same class of ticket I purchased previously. As far as fees I wouldn't mind paying a little extra money to book a fare that is more flexible but when they charge 3x as much it isn't worth. My plans don't change that often, but when they do the airlines sure try and stick it to you. I am just glad that this time it is an option and not a must. |
