Maintenance problem: flight returned to airport
 
I just got off a flight that was taking me to an afternoon business meeting.

Instead of arriving at the destination, we had to return to the airport due to a maintenance problem. There was a different plane waiting for us when we landed, but that would have gotten me to the destination just in time to get the return flight. Obviously I didn't get on that plane and I missed my business meeting.

What next? Refund? Compensation?

Search for "trip in vain". You're entitled to a refund. You might get something more if you ask.

+1. Same thing happened, well - sort of, on a trip from here to SYD over a weekend. You'll get a refund and compensation - check out United.com/Appreciation to see if there's anything set up yet for your flight.

Cheers,
Adam
