United Airlines tickets are non-transferable most importantly because that allows United to make more money. If you ask how it lets United make more money, consider the following points:

Suppose if United Airlines tickets were transferable, everyone would purchase and easily transfer them from themselves to another person without any problem. And, that means, there would be no cancelations of united tickets before rebooking with the name of the person to whom the transfer was to be done in the first place.
Thus non-transferability means earning through cancelation fees.
- Non-transferable tickets mean United can charge more for a last-minute ticket;
If United Airlines tickets were not non-transferable, people would buy them at an early stage so that when United charges more for last-minute tickets, they will come forward with fewer prices and thereby make a handsome amount of profit out of this resale strategy.
Thus non-transferability of tickets means more money through highly-priced last-minute tickets. dial the united helpline number at +1-888-906-0670 for help.
