My family and I are taking a trip to the Maldives. I got a great redemption on United 88,000 per person in Business class. It's three flights but we are super excited to visit. Itinerary is ORD-ZRH-DXB-MLE
ORD-ZRH - Swiss
ZRH-DXB - Emirates
DXB-MLE - FlyDubai

Question: What happens if there is a flight delay. Which airline will help get me to the end destination. Will it be United regardless of which leg since that is who I booked through? or is it the carrier at the time of the delay to get me to the end destination? I think it is the later but thought I would check. ......
Day of travel, the carrier that creates the problem is responsible. UA is not involved and would be of little help as UA does not have service to MLE.

Congrats on the award ticket
