Got her last F seat on later flight to ORD, she saved UA $48K as my mother is going for a meeting of a charity she runs and if she can't leave for SYD tonight ( and must pu her friend in PHX) she would have cancelled all and gone home

to UA for all these cancellations
^ to that UClub agent.
Why were there 2 separate tickets? Don't most intl F tickets allow a stopover? If so she could have flown JFK-PHX on US on the NS and then the rest on US/UA.
