United, American, and Delta have all announced similar policies.
In its latest move to offer more flexibility to fliers during COVID-19, United Airlines is putting an end to ticket change fees for good. The airline announced Sunday that going forward, it will no longer be charging change fees for all standard economy and premium cabin tickets for travel within the U.S., effective immediately.
Change fees—which can run as high as $200, depending on the airline and flight—are the ancillary charge levied when a flier needs to alter their itinerary, typically on top of any difference in fare a customer is asked to shell out for. Many fliers see them as unnecessarily punitive. Southwest Airlines, for example, is beloved by customers in large part because there are no change fees and fliers have the ability to shift their plans as needed, free of charge.
