Delayed flight refund?
I have a United flight booked with Lifemiles. I am wondering, if the flight is delayed and the new/rebooked time doesn't work for me, what options do I have? Will I get back the miles without penalty? Can I do so after no show for the delayed flight?

Well, because it might be more efficient to drive.
I know if I booked with UA direct the value of the flight would be reissued. I just don't know how it would be handled with a partner booking.

Now, it is up to you to fly the delayed flight, negotiate with United (fruitlessly I believe) to be rebooked, or abandon this ticket and purchase a separate ticket. If it is a the very first leg of your ticket, then you have the option of abandoning the LM award ticket and then asking for a refund of your miles and taxes ($100-150 refund fees will be charged). Otherwise, just swallow the delay.
