The agent declined my request, citing that only *A routes are permitted in weather. With many conflicting stories I heard from the premier line post 3/3, I am not sure whether this claim is true?
I feel for your family.
Is your wife 1K? If not, would your status allow them to be treated the same as a 1K during IRROPS?
I suspect that most non-status economy passengers can't be choosy about the rebooked route.

I think that OP meant that NRT-ORD was cancelled, though it was written in a way that might have been confusing.
