The issue is UA336 is currently returning to the gate for some unknown reason. Presumably a mechanical issue. If they cant get in the air in less than an hour, I believe she will misconnect.

I'm looking for her best options:
1. Go home and do this again tomorrow. Note that tomorrow's SFO-PEK flight leaves at 10:35am so only a 1:35 connection
2. Fly to SFO and take tomorrow's flight. I assume UA will provide a hotel and meal voucher
3. Fly to SFO and take an alternate flight. I'm not seeing many good options. Connect through FRA or HKG with much longer flight times
anything else?
How about ORD-NRT-PEK on ANA today?
NH 11 (ORD-NRT) departs at 11:00 am. NRT-PEK arrives at PEK at 9:40 pm+1 day. There is 3 h 15 min connection time at NRT.
