My upgraded LAX-LHR nonstop was rerouted via IAD. Reason: the season shift from early afternoon to late afternoon departure.
I asked agent for original routing. He told me the upgrades weren't available. I asked him to please check with a sup. Ten minutes on hold, and I am on the flight I want, upgrades confirmed!

It seems for the month of April, UA837 (SFO-NRT) and UA838 (NRT-SFO) are now on the old-configured 777s instead of the 747s...

SFO-LHR 954 in April has been retimed to leave 20 minutes earlier than before. No problem for me but some people may have tighter connections.

thanks for the heads up I did indeed have a schedule change for May on an itin SIN-JFK. Since 862 now gets it some 40 mins earlier I was able to get onto an earlier SFO-JFK flight saving me some 2 hours - nice!

Looks like they've changed our favorite mid-day YVR-SFO flight from mainline to UX. I'll have to call and see if they'll change it to one of the other flights during the day (everything else is mainline). Has anyone ever tried to get a partner flight on a schedule/equipment/carrier change? There's an AC flight on an E90 at a good time, and it might be interesting to try it out if they'll let us (two of our tickets are awards anyway, so no worries about UDU).
Added: Brain fart. Of course I can change the awards for free (there's plenty of XY and NY on the other flights)! It's just the revenue ticket I need to see if they'll change to one of the other UA flights.

Got one today for 2/5. IAD-RDU stayed with the same flight times but swtiched from a ERJ-145 to an EMB-170 ^. Annoying that I'm going to have to call UAL so I can select a new seat.

Argh :-(
My connections IAD-CLT have been downsized to ER4's...sigh No more ExPlus or FC's on this segment.
On another downer...on my way back from SJU, I routed myself SJU-IAD-ORD-SFO on the 3 class B763 confirmed in NC.....ORD-SFO is still a 3 class B763.....however, not a biggie...but still a let down, my IAD-ORD went from a 3-class B763 to an A319....OUCH!!

My LAX-OGG RT in April shifted around by 5-10 minutes each way, but has remained on the ghetto bird. I suppose the only benefit is a good chance of being upgraded to psuedo-F.

Almost all 10 of my March flights changed. Including one LAX-SAN which is re-timed an hour and 4 minutes earlier - which I don't mind as it reduced a very long layover at LAX!
