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 agents answer Monday to Sunday, 8 am to 11 pm US Eastern Time.

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
