Independent travel agency. Not affiliated with or endorsed by United Airlines, Lufthansa or any airline. Service subject to ticket control and airline rules.

Before requesting service: BookMyReservations is operated by Shiv Travel & Tours LLC. We can review eligible reservations where authorized; some tickets must be handled by the airline or original issuing provider. Airline fare differences and any applicable agency charges should be confirmed before proceeding.

First Class Versus Polaris Business Class

United First is generally a domestic premium cabin; United Polaris is offered on eligible international long-haul services. Confirm the actual cabin on each new segment rather than assuming the products are interchangeable.

flight changes After Airline Disruptions

If United cancels or materially changes a flight, review the alternative it offers and applicable refund or re-accommodation rights before requesting a voluntary exchange.

Traveler-Requested flight changes

For a voluntary change, review ticket conditions, available fare classes, routing restrictions and any additional collection. A seat showing for sale does not always mean the existing ticket can be exchanged into it.

Missed Premium Connections

A missed connection on one through ticket may be handled differently from a missed flight on separate tickets. Contact the operating carrier promptly and check the status of onward coupons.

Keeping Premium Cabin Benefits

Check whether a new flight retains premium cabin seating, lounge eligibility, checked-bag allowance and upgrades. These benefits can vary by operating carrier, route and ticket.

Ticket Reissue and Agency Control

Confirm who issued the ticket and who can service it. An agency cannot necessarily alter every United reservation, particularly if another provider retains control.

United First and Polaris: Check Every Segment

United First on eligible domestic routes and United Polaris on eligible long-haul routes are not interchangeable products. For an itinerary combining domestic and international segments, check the confirmed cabin and booking class on each replacement flight, including any partner-operated segments.

Premium Cabin flight changes After a Missed Connection

When a protected connection is missed, the airline may offer a replacement itinerary, but the same premium cabin may not be available on every segment. Ask which cabin is confirmed before accepting a change, and review any downgrade or refund rights applicable to the specific disruption.
