United Airlines Partnership
Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ has a negotiated contract with United (and joint venture airlines) which provides discounted fares and additional benefits.
Benefits
- Preferred Benefits:
- Higher priority and protections when travel doesn't go as planned
- Preferred seat protection should there be changes to your itinerary
- Priority standby
- Access to tie-breaker preference on the upgrade list
- Discounted fares: Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ's negotiated rates often provide discounts compared to publicly available rates.
- Name change fees waived: Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ travelers who have booked a flight on United through one of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ's travel agencies may use the value of that unused ticket (less applicable change fees) towards the purchase of a new ticket in the name for another Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ employee. Please note that Egencia customers will need to call an Egencia agent to take advantage of this benefit, so an Egencia fee will also apply (see the Travel Agency Fees page for fee information).
- 48-hour fare guarantee: Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ travelers who have booked a flight on United through one of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ's travel agencies can request that a reservation which is being held (but not yet ticketed) be guaranteed for up to 48 hours. This request needs to be made in the initial 24-hour period after booking and should be done at the time of booking if possible. Egencia customers should select the option for "Temporarily reserve flight" in the booking path and call an Egencia agent with the itinerary number, who will then extend the hold period. Please note that since travelers will need to call an Egencia agent to take advantage of this benefit, an Egencia fee will also apply (see the Travel Agency Fees page for fee information).
