Need to make changes to your United Airlines reservation? Whether your plans shifted or you made a mistake during booking, United Airlines allows passengers to change flight dates or correct names — and the process is easier than you think. For immediate help, call a live support agent at 1-844-243-6776.




✅ Can I Change My United Airlines Flight Date?​


Yes! United allows free flight date changes for most fare types, though you may need to pay the fare difference if your new flight costs more.


Here’s what you should know:


  • Basic Economy tickets: Not changeable
  • Standard Economy & higher: No change fees
  • You can change flights online or by calling 1-844-243-6776
  • Same-day changes are allowed for a small fee (or free for Premier members)
  • International and partner flights may follow different rules

If you're unsure about eligibility or need help rebooking, it's best to speak to a live agent.




✏️ How to Change a Passenger Name on a United Ticket​


United Airlines allows minor name corrections, but they do not allow full name changes or transfers to a different person.


Allowed name corrections include:


  • Spelling errors (e.g., “Jhon” corrected to “John”)
  • Missing middle names or initials
  • Fixing reversed first/last names
  • Updating names to match passport/ID

To request a name correction, you must speak to an agent. Call 1-844-243-6776 to begin the name change request and get guidance on required documents.




📞 How to Contact United Airlines to Make a Change​


If you need to change your flight date or correct a name, here’s how to get real-time help:


  1. Call United Airlines at 1-844-243-6776
  2. Press “0” or say “Agent” to bypass the menu
  3. Choose “Change a Booking” or “Name Correction” when prompted
  4. Wait to speak with a live representative

💡 Tip: Call early in the day or late evening to avoid long hold times.




🗓️ When Should You Make the Change?​


United recommends making changes at least 24 hours before departure. Same-day changes are allowed up to 30 minutes before departure (if eligible), but availability is limited.


Making changes earlier gives you more options and avoids last-minute stress.




🧾 What You’ll Need When You Call​


Have these details ready before speaking with the agent:


  • Booking confirmation number
  • Passenger name (as entered)
  • Correct spelling (for name correction)
  • New flight dates or preferences
  • Passport or ID (for international corrections)
  • Payment method (for fare differences, if applicable)

The support agent will guide you through the update step-by-step.




💻 Can I Make Changes Online?​


Yes — but some changes require live assistance, especially name corrections or international bookings.


You can visit United.com > Manage Booking to change flight dates, but for anything complex, it’s best to call 1-844-243-6776.
