I ultimately got lucky calling the SPG main line as the Marriott Plat line was 20 minutes on hold and still no answer. Ridiculous.
EDIT: UA2 (SIN-SFO) on 22July is cancelled due to no aircraft being available (my UA1 cancellation on 20July).
What's interesting is I can't find an extra segment from SIN-SFO. So where is this 789 going after the extra segment gets to SIN?

My guess is it probably will ferry back on July 24.
Speaking of 789, my friend was flying UA 1459 IAH-SFO on 7/21 and it was downgauged from a 789 to a 763. Wondering if another 789 went mech in IAH.
One more for today.
7/21 UA 901 SFO-LHR (N181UA) departed at 1740, 4 hours 50 minutes late and estimated to arrive at 1137, 4 hours 27 minutes late due to aircraft maintenance.
