My trip is in April so technically I'm not banned yet. They did revise the schedule so my stopover in Majuro is now 45 minutes instead of 25 hours. I'm hoping United will let me change my flights to November but they revised the trip revision policy to 25 hours rather than the previous 2 so a 24 hour change that gets rid of a stopover might be a tough sell.

To further complicated my dilemma I have a separate koror to pohnpei trip booked because there were too many segments to book this on one PNR so I think I'm really out of luck there.
