As noted in previous threads, UA is dropping the 730 pm JFK-LAX. (What's odd is that they will be offering BOTH 545pm and 610pm departures. Go figure.

So here's my sutuation.

I am arriving from LHR on the Concorde at 525pm. (The Concorde flight was originally arriving at 1030am, but they changed their schedule). Anyway, it would be pushing it for me to make the 6:10 departure. All UA can do is confirm me for the next morning.

I asked if they could book me for both flights (evening and morning), but the answer was "no." But UA did document my record, allowing me to have full flexability with this ticket, including taking the 610 flight if I can make it, changing the flight, etc.

I really am not wanting to spend the night at a hotel airport so I can take a 7am departure the next day. DL and AA still offer late evening departures. Do you think UA would endorse my ticket?

Of course, April is a long way off and things might change.

Any advice?
