A3 Miles & Bonus booking on UA schedule change
I logged onto the A3 app 2 days ago and noticed a significant schedule change that I haven't been informed about yet. I used by A3 miles & bonus miles to redeem a return SEA to GCM booking between Jan 11 to Jan 19, 2019 flying UA on all four segments.
Original booking was:
Jan 11 dep @ 16:04 SEA - 22:00 ORD / Jan 12 dep @ 10:40 ORD - 15:30 GCM
Jan 19 dep @ 17:10 GCM - 19:15 IAH / Jan 19 dep @ 21:30 IAH - 00:25 SEA
Proposed reschedule is (I still haven't accepted yet):
Jan 11 dep @ 13:45 SEA - 19:29 ORD / Jan 12 dep @ 10:19 ORD - 15:10 GCM
Jan 19 dep @ 12:50 GCM - 15:59 ORD / Jan 19 dep @ 19:35 ORD - 22:03 SEA
The biggest issue I have with the proposed reschedule is the 4 hour earlier departure from GCM on the 19th and the almost 4 hour layover in ORD.
What does Aegean or United afford to PAX in this situation? I called A3 and they don't have any other Star Alliance inventory available on the same dates to rebook me on. I called UA and they said since it's not their ticket they can't do anything to it. Would the gate agents for my outbound flight have the ability to modify my inbound routing? I see plenty of award availability on UA, but for the moment it appears they're not making it available to Star Alliance partners. Perhaps I just wait and hope that UA opens up unsold inventory closer to the departure date?
Anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions?
