December 16, 2002 - United Drops Stand By Fee

CHICAGO (Reuters) -- United Airlines said on Thursday it will not implement the $100 fee it had planned to charge U.S. customers to stand by for earlier or later flights on a scheduled travel date.

The same-day standby fee policy was announced in September and was scheduled to take effect January 1, 2003.

The normal fees and charges will still apply for a customer seeking to confirm a seat on a different flight for a scheduled travel date, the airline said.
