Cancelling A United Non-Refundable

[partyanimal]

Have to cancel my trip for medical reasons.

 

Booked a non-refundable ticket with United but have the impression I'll only lose 150 bucks if I cancel. Anyone have any experience with cancelling a non-refunadable for medical reasons and getting all their money back?

 

Thanks

Speaking from a UK perspective, it really depends on when the ticket was bought, who it was bought from and when the travel date is.

Many companies who state, 'Non refundable' will refund (less admin fees) if the cancellation is made early enough. Others will hit you for various percentages up to 100% :crying

 

Got insurance ? That should cover any shortfall.

 

Good luck

Just got off the phone with United. Turns out I can cancel for any reason and only lose 150 bucks. But if I send a doctors note I can get all my money back.
