What is a United Flight Credit?

A United Flight Credit is a travel voucher that can be used to book a future flight with United Airlines. This credit is typically given to customers who have had their travel plans disrupted due to a flight cancellation or other issue. The credit can be used for any United flight, and it does not expire.

If you have been issued a United Flight Credit, you can use it to book a new flight by calling United Reservations at 1-800-864-8331. When booking your new flight, you will need to provide the credit number, as well as the name of the passenger who was originally ticketed. The credit can also be used to book a flight online through united.com. To use the credit online, you will need to enter the credit number and the last name of the original ticketed passenger when prompted during the booking process.
