How much is the fee to change a flight on United airlines?

You can adjust your travel plans without any change fees — including for award tickets — for flights within the U.S., or for international travel originating in the U.S. This applies to most United Economy and all premium cabin tickets. You'll just pay the fare difference if your new flight is more expensive.
