IRROPS today UA1085 ORD-LGA
4 hour delay and counting due to fog
Was at the airport early and asked CS to go standby on an earlier flight to LGA or EWR: "Nothing available sir"
Meanwhile, I was able to purchase a seat on an UA1744 just to get out of ORD and to LGA.
Should UA have accommodated me as at least a standby, instead of having to purchase the same flight? 1kvoice says tough luck.
