United Extends Change Fee Elimination to Mexico, Caribbean
United Airlines has extended its dropping of change fees to include Mexico and the Caribbean, Travel Weekly reports.
United Airlines will extend its recently announced long-term elimination of change fees to include Mexico and the Caribbean. The carrier had previously planned to ax the $200 fee only on domestic flights.
United's change of heart followed the decision by American last week to one-up its Chicago-based competitor by eliminating change fees for flights to Mexico, the Caribbean and Canada.
United and other airlines temporarily eliminated change fees for all flights early in the Covid-19 pandemic. The long-term elimination will not apply to basic economy tickets.
