Are United Airline tickets refundable?

United Airline tickets are refundable depending on what kind of ticket the customer has purchased. The airline offers a refundable ticket that the customer can cancel without penalty. The tickets cost more at initial purchase, but the customer receives a full refund upon cancellation.

The airline has up to seven days to issue refunds. The purchase of a non-refundable ticket is less expensive but limits the type of refund available. The customer can apply the cost of the ticket to another ticket and must pay processing fees. The refund policy takes into consideration certain occurrences such as a death in the family or jury duty, in which cases a refund is available minus a processing fee.
