Exact time of flight cancellation
Is there a place that would show the exact time a flight was cancelled? I was scheduled BHX-EWR then EWR-IAH UA 687 on 8/27 but now I'm wondering why I was ever allowed on the plane in BHX, being that the final EWR-IAH flight of 8/26 was diverted to ORD and the first several flights of the following morning were cancelled (all of them eventually). I ended up being stranded in EWR for 4 days and out of hundreds of dollars for hotel fees. I know much of this is my fault for not checking the flight status of 8/26 and early 8/27 flights when I woke up or simply not making a change to a later date but in a way I feel a bit deceived as well, as if I was being sent to EWR knowing that it would be cancelled. Though to be fair the agents in BHX probably weren't paying attention to news in Houston fully either since their flight only goes to IAH. Also I don't think a boarding pass would be issued for a cancelled flight either. Just wondering if such info is available and any other thoughts. Thanks.
