1. does anybody know that happened to the original flight and/or why they changed me?
and 2. whilst i intend to take the outbound flight back to LAX in Jan, I specifically avoid connecting on long-haul flights. since there's still lots of time and no shortage of direct flight options, can i get my money back for the return flight after I have travelled the outbound sector?
Call UA and ask why u were rerouted from a non-stop flt to a connecting flt. Tell them u wish to remain on the non-stop flt.. If the original non-stop was cancelled u may be stuck with the connecting flt.. See what they have to say and go from there.
