<p data-start="704" data-end="1147">Before making changes to your flight date, it's essential to understand United Airlines' flight change policies. United Airlines allows travelers to make changes to their flights, including the departure date, as long as the ticket rules permit it.

<h2 data-start="1149" data-end="1200">When Are You Allowed to Change Your Flight Date?</h2>
<p data-start="1202" data-end="1580">United Airlines typically allows date changes up to 24 hours before departure. In many cases, travelers flying on economy tickets can reschedule their trip for a different date, especially if they purchased a flexible or refundable fare. If you’re unsure whether your ticket is eligible for a date change, it’s best to confirm with United directly by calling <strong data-start="1561" data-end="1579">1-888-732-1075</strong>.</p>
<h2 data-start="1582" data-end="1623">Change Date Within 24 Hours of Booking</h2>
<p data-start="1625" data-end="2019">United Airlines follows the U.S. Department of Transportation's rule that allows free changes or cancellations within 24 hours of booking, as long as the ticket was booked at least 7 days before the flight. During this period, passengers can change the travel date without incurring any penalty. If you need help with this, a quick call to <strong data-start="1965" data-end="1983">1-888-732-1075</strong> will guide you through the process.</p>

Basic Economy fares generally do not allow any changes, whereas Economy (Standard), Economy Plus, Business, and First Class tickets are more flexible. Not sure about your fare class? Call <strong data-start="2375" data-end="2393">1-888-732-1075</strong> for clarification and support.</p>
