2) I did not change my return flights, but United canceled my seats and the only ones available were premium. I have short legs and don't care about more legroom. Is this something I can successfully complain about, or am I screwed?
I am trying to tell myself that it was great to change for free (when the actual price actually doubled) but still...
If all of your flights are on one ticket, then if you should skip any flight on the itinerary, all remaining flights would normally be cancelled --
unless UA agreed to delete the flight you intend to skip, while retaining your return flights. This might happen if the ORD-MSN flight were cancelled or significantly delayed. But if you just skip the ORD-MSN, expect your remaining flights to be cancelled.
Why are you unhappy about being put in premium seats rather than the standard seats which you previously had?
