SCHEDULE CHANGE ON NOV9

For those LAX-based on NOV9: LAX-IAD FLT#653 is now FLT#293 with 41 min connection (instead of 40 minutes)

For those WAS-based going to BAH via LAX on NOV9: IAD-LAX FLT#470 is now FLT#1517

I just checked the PNR and found the changes. I used the changes to my advantage to find better equipments. I now am on international configuration 772 on BOTH IAD-LAX and LAX-IAD. I was upgraded on original NOV9 PNR for both IAD-LAX and LAX-IAD (booked on JUL12), and I was able to keep my original upgrades on those segments and get them on both international configuration 772 because of available upgrade inventory (R9).

Here is my new PNR:
NOV8 IAD-LAX UA312 (Departs 17:44 EST, arrives 20:17 PST; International 772)
NOV9 LAX-IAD UA856 (Departs 07:45 PST, arrives 15:26 EST; International 772)
NOV9 IAD-BAH UA982
NOV10 BAH-IAD UA981

It may be worthwhile for those with upgrade instruments (miles or RPU, or GPU if you must burn GPU) to jump on the upgrade to international J.

I am debating if I want to book a hotel room at LAX for NOV8, or if I want to tough it out at RCC overnight.


Here is the detail...

ORIGINAL LAX-IAD on NOV9 (Booked on JUL12)
- UA653
- Departs LAX at 13:20
- Arrives IAD at 21:10
- Equipment A320
- 40 min connection

First Schedule Change to LAX-IAD on NOV9 that I noticed (circa JUL22)
- UA653
- Change: Departs LAX at 13:15
- Change: Arrives IAD at 21:05
- Change: Equipment 752
- Change: 45 minutes connection

Most Recent Change to LAX-IAD on NOV9 I noticed today
- Changed from UA653 to UA293
- Change: Departs LAX at 13:16
- Change: Arrives IAD at 21:09
- Changed to Equipment A320
- Change: 41 minutes connection

In addition to changes to NOV9 LAX-IAD, NOV9 IAD-LAX is also changed today.

ORIGINAL IAD-LAX on NOV9 (Booked on JUL12)
- UA470
- Departs IAD at 8:45
- Arrives LAX at 11:09
- Equipment 752
- 2hrs 11 min connection

Most Recent Change to IAD-LAX on NOV9 I noticed today
- Changed from UA470 to UA1517
- Change: Departs IAD at 8:53
- Change: Arrives LAX at 11:40
- Change: Equipment 753
- Change: 1hr 36 minutes connection

So I called 1K desk and requested the FLT change. It was a direct swap because both IAD-LAX on NOV8 and LAX-IAD on NOV9 have R9 for upgrades.

Hope this helps....
