United Airlines says an internal memo that was “poorly worded” caused a false claim that travelers could switch flights from an airport linked to former President Donald Trump for free. The airline clarifies that its actual policy does not permit changes based on an airport’s name or its three-letter airport code. United’s statement indicates that the guidance circulating internally was not consistent with the company’s official rules on flight modifications. As presented in reports, the claim suggested passengers would be able to make changes without cost when departing from or relating to a “Trump” airport designation. United disputes that interpretation, stating that changes are not automatically available under such circumstances and that customers must follow the airline’s standard terms for flight changes. The airline’s correction focuses on the source of the misinformation—an internal document—rather than on any policy shift, emphasizing that the existing rules govern whether and how flight changes can be made and that the ability to change is not tied to the airport’s name or code.
