Still on the plane, waiting for an open gate.
How do I learn the actual reason for my cancelled flight? If I go on Flightaware, it just confirms that it was cancelled, but no reason given.
Is it likely that air traffic control really did cancel our flight?
RE: renting a car . . . good idea. Since I am on a fully refundable ticket, I guess it makes sense to get the refund and drive. Otherwise, I wait on standby here at ORD for four long hours.
I am actually stunned that UA is not obligated to get me to my final destination which is SPI. The res agent on the phone claimed she will only book me tomorrow (Sat) from ORD to STL. I don't understand.

Given no alternative carrier and flight sold out.
You can
-Waitlist/standby for tonight's flight and hope.
-Stick around til tomorrow
-Book a car and submit a refund request for the rental
I understand that I will be refunded for the ORD-SPI segment.
How likely is it that my rental car refund would be honored?
