Awesome! I'm basically doing a weekend personal trip and booking the 630am home, with the intention of actually taking an evening flight. Hoping I don't get stuck haha!!

What status are you? Worst comes to worst you can get standby and make that (always 90% or greater), Since your ‘’missing” your flight to get a later one, check Sunday to see if anything is available Monday (24 hours) but your options are limited, worst case is waiting till Monday morning and calling it in and say you are about to miss it and book something for latest Tuesday morning but hopefully Monday. I do what your doing ALL the time to get cheaper flights, more than upgrades the single biggest cost savings for me is this same day no change thing (actually its 24 hours so i go plus minus a day also from DoD)

Nope. Has been super easy with United. One thing though, the same fare class (as booking fare class) needs to be available for free change. Having said that, all fare classes are made available 2 hours before departure of the flight. That way you can do a same day change free of cost.

Btw, you need to be at least united gold for free same day changes. United silver members are charged $75 ad change fees.

I’ve only ever had issues when the flight i wanted to change to is completely sold out. Otherwise it’s a pretty painless process

Platinum

Thanks for the feedback guys! Sounds like it would work out fine :)
