If you already have United miles, or can transfer Chase Rewards points to United, given the coach fare (including co-pay) generally ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 round-trip, and the normal Business Class fare generally ranges from $5,500 to $8,000 to South Pacific, you can use United miles to save $2,500 to $6,000 (45% to 75%) on your next premium travel booking.
THE RISK OF CHANGING OR CANCELLING AN UPGRADE AWARD TICKET WITH UA: If you request to cancel your upgrade award, any miles and associated upgrade co-pays will be refunded, but a re-credit fee may apply. If you request to change a flight with an upgrade award, United can apply the upgrade award to your new itinerary, subject to upgrade availability. Additional miles and co-pay may be required. You can find more details on UA’s site here.
However, for a paid economy ticket, fare rules and restrictions of the original purchased fare do apply. United customers will be permitted to change without paying a change fee to a flight of equal or lesser value for travel up to 12 months from the original ticket issue date (but any difference in fares will apply).
