UA Schedule Change Award Travel options?
Hello All,
I tried to find someone else who posted about it but did not seem to find anything relating to UA policy.
I have a flight that I booked a couple months ago on AC using my united miles. It was EWR-Location1 on Thursday night and then Friday morning Location1-Location2 and then Monday Location2-EWR.
I received an email from them notifying me of a change to my schedule. I believe that AC decided to bump me from the flight because it appears sold out. My second leg is now leaving Location 1 on Saturday which makes the trip pointless.
As this is an award ticket what are my options if no more award space is available around that time? Tickets for flight to location2 from EWR are available to purchase (something I would like to avoid) via UA metal. Can an agent open award space and book me onto one of those flights due to this schedule change?
