Arlington, TX -- April 28, 2008 - Last week on Saturday, April 19, United increased the change fee from $100 to $150 on tickets for travel within the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

United also raised their international change fees to from $200 to $250 per ticket to Europe, Asia, South America and Australia, while codeshare partner Lufthansa matched the change fee increase to Europe.

On Thursday, April 24, Continental Airlines raised their change fee by $50 for both domestic and international travel. US Airways also matched this new change fee.

As of early this morning, no other U.S. or international airline has matched these new change fees for either domestic or international travel.

On Southwest, if you need to make a change and the airfare and advance purchase are the same there is NO fee.
