Touriyo is an independent travel agency. We are not United Airlines and we do not act on its behalf. The number on this page reaches Touriyo; United Airlines' official channel is 1-800-864-8331 (source: www.united.com/en/us/fly/customer-support/contact-directory.html, checked 18 October 2026).

A refund is United Airlines' decision and United Airlines' money: Touriyo cannot promise one. A Touriyo agent reads your ticket against United Airlines' published rules and tells you whether it qualifies. If Touriyo issued the ticket, we request the refund and follow it up; if you bought it elsewhere, the agent explains where and how to ask for it.

Touriyo's service fee is quoted on the call, before you pay, based on the airline's rules for your ticket, in one total with what the airline charges. It is charged only when the service is confirmed. No Touriyo fee when the airline cancelled or significantly changed your flight. The price you confirm is the price you pay.See all our service fees

How it works with Touriyo

  1. Call with your ticket number or booking reference.
  2. The agent checks United Airlines' published refund rules for your fare, including what applies when the airline cancels or changes your flight.
  3. If Touriyo issued the ticket, we request the refund from United Airlines and follow it up. If you bought it elsewhere, the agent tells you where and how to ask for it.
  4. United Airlines decides and pays refunds on its tickets. Touriyo's fee is never deducted from a refund the airline owes you.

The total, including the airline's charges and Touriyo's fee, is quoted before any card is taken. Refunds owed by the airline are never reduced by our fee.

Tickets bought through an agency: what Touriyo can and cannot do

What Touriyo can do

  • Change, cancel, request refunds and add bags on tickets Touriyo issued.
  • On any other United Airlines ticket: explain United Airlines' published rules, tell you which channel can help and book a new ticket if that works out better.

What Touriyo cannot do

  • Change, cancel or refund a ticket that United Airlines or another agency issued: only the issuer can.
  • Decide or speed up a refund: United Airlines decides and pays it.

What United Airlines publishes about tickets bought through an agency

You may be able to change your flight with United if you made your reservation with a travel agent or another third party. However, there may be a fee in addition to the applicable change fee. We recommend checking with the third party first.' Refund policy: 'If you purchased your ticket through a travel agency, your refund will be issued to the form of payment the agency used when booking your ticket. You will receive your refund directly from the travel agency. Please contact them with any questions about your refund.' Travel credits: 'What if I have a travel credit issued for a flight originally booked through a travel agency? You can still use your credit, but you'll need to do it through the travel agency you used to book the original flight.' 24-hour policy applies when 'booking it directly with United'.
