Yes Tom, you are quite right...I did call UA and was told my flights are GONE...I am extremely upset, I was due to leave MSY at 1:15 connecting at IAD and getting home to PHL at 6pm...now they have me connecting in Chicago and not getting home till almost midnight. This flight is NOT going to work for me, I cannot get in that late yet they tell me I have no options other then to change my day/time which I cannot do either because the now 1pm flight to IAD is overbooked by almost 50 due to the cancellation of the morning flight...This is a big mess and its not fair in my opinion. The outbound flight I am ok with on 11/1 but this return flight is not happening...I dont know what to do...or is there nothing I can do ??
