This was one of the reasons the pilot gave for returning to BRU. My destination was/is CVG. Going tomorrow BRU-EDI-IAD-CVG. First suggestion would have gotten me there near midnight tomorrow, but this one arrives around 7pm, a day late.

What re-booking options did you get?
First one was

The next available flight we can rebook you will be tomorrow and this is the flight:

27Sep LH1009 BRU-FRA 11:20 a.m. - 12:20 p.m.
27Sep UA47 FRA-IAH 1:55 p.m. - 5:50 p.m.
27Sep UA685 IAH-CVG 8:06 p.m. - 11:30 p.m.

Which was ironic, since I started in BER.
