I move my flights around A LOT, and this was the first time I've boarded a plane without anything after standby. Does anyone else think this is strange? My named never showed up on the cleared list either. Does United even have a record of me being on this flight? I hope my miles post...
How did your ORD-SDF flight go? If you got on it you got lucky as UA (since the merger) is prone to quickly canceling any onward legs if you don't take a segment and without any paperwork or BP's or tickets it could cause a problem.
