My question is, would UA or LH put that bag on the first UA fligh from FRA to SFO which would be UA59 or wait until the later UA927 flight since that was the one I was booked on?
Google shows a UA8829 but I'm assuming that's an LH flight and UA codeshare.
In any event, both UA59 and UA927 are en route, but both departed late so I'm guessing they might not deliver my bag tonight.
Absent other issues (like weight restrictions), UA will put the bag on the next available flight to get it to its destination. It doesn't have to go on the same flight # it was originally supposed to travel on.
In fact, I think someone at BTV screwed that up and redirected my bag onto the same flight # it was originally on... adding an extra round trip. Supposedly it will be delivered today (and I got a $150 travel credit when I filed a claim for $58 in incidentals to be reimbursed). We'll see.
