"Stop with the 'screwed' commentary? Just don't change your ticket?" Hate to break it to you but plans change, situations change, etc. I'm not opposed to a reasonable fee to change flights, but I requested to change a return flight 2 months ahead of time and found out UA charges $100 per passenger. There are three of us total, so tack on $300 just to push the return date back a couple days. This might upset you, but a screw's a screw. $300 is almost an extra ticket. How is that charge justified? For UA, it's easy money. They have plenty of time to fill the seats. I'd consider standby if I was flying alone on a business trip, but traveling with wife and son I don't want to take chances and have to sit around O'Hare for hours holding our breath, waiting for someone to 'do us a favor.'
