Comments(0) United airlines just announced that it will eliminate the last-minutes award book fee from July 30. Below is the announcement from United:
“Becoming the first airline to remove the close-in award processing fee is our way of providing you with even more value for your continued loyalty.
Beginning July 30, 2009, you can book a Mileage Plus® Award ticket less than 21 days in advance, and pay no close-in award processing fees”
Just last week, I was charged for $75 last-minutes award booking fee by Delta when I booked my flight to New York. I hope the other airlines will follow in this change soon.
