From what I've read EWR could go either way. It could be a minor 2-4" or it could get 6-8". Really it mostly depends on whether it comes down as snow or ice.

Is the reschedule period new to UA as part of the Irops policy update? Every other carrier only allows a week to use the ticket. This makes UA so much better as weather is the one thing that makes me nervous about booking this time of year. (well other than year round change fee waiver for Gold on AS)

i tried to change my run to April, same city pair.
online, it just uses the flight credit for the new flight.
even when i found same booking class for all segments.

Try calling. The online changing tool doesn't work well at all.

Just made a change by phone from a flight that cost us £499 to a flight that currently prices at £479.

I didn't get a refund (or think to ask for one, even though it says quite clearly that the change fee is waived!), but when my ticket was reissued I got an "INVOL" notation in the additional fare rules section of the ticket.

Where do you find that info?

If I click "view receipt" (or get an e-mailed e-ticket receipt), I can see

That language wasn't there in my original e-ticket receipt, which just said:

Do you all think that international arriving flights to EWR on Feb 8 will see much disruption?

Point being, would it be worth giving up a cleared SWU in advance to plan for an alternate flight?

Depends on two things: what time you land, and how far north/south the storm goes. The storm is supposed to be at its peak mid-Friday, getting up to 3"/hour in some spots. However the precise path of the storm is unknown and EWR is right on the edge of the storm. If it veers away from EWR they could see as little as 2-4" which may cause a few delays but nothing major. If it veers towards EWR I could see the airport shutting down for some time.

I actually don't have that on my reroute for this res on Friday. However, my flight last week was late and I missed the connecting flight so this was shown:

When this happened, I could also choose any reroute (for the next day or two) I wanted when I did OLCI again.

you are right. i changed my GGGG to UGGK at no cost. Thanks.

Hmm. interesting -- thank you.

5:45pm arrival from Beijing... I guess we'll have to see maybe tomorrow where that edge looks closer to...

I finally received notification that my flight saturday morning BOS-IAH was cancelled. Took long enough especially considering the inbound was supposed to fly in during the storms strongest period. I took the refund as I find it easier to spend new money than to reuse a credit.

Ditto for BOS-EWR (UA 237, departing 8:30 AM on Saturday). That one's probably screwed on both ends.

I actually haven't had much experience with irrops (always lived in warm places), so I've been trying to figure out the best way to approach this. I don't mind flying on Sunday, and don't particularly want to fly Friday morning and try beating the storm out. Should I just wait until Saturday and try a same-day change to Sunday, or go ahead and book it? Do they add extra flights to handle the backlog of passengers? It's not like there's much slack in the loads these days.

Hmm. My fare is actually kind of high, so I guess I should check first and see if there's one that's lower.

Hmm, is UA empowered to offer OAL rebookings during weather irrops? Our (paid) ticket LHR-EWR-BOS is probably not gonna fly and I'd really rather we get a nonstop on DL/AA/BA or thru FRA on LH.

Yesterday I proactively changed from LHR-IAD-BOS to LHR-EWR-BOS, but now both our original IAD-BOS and our re-changed EWR-BOS have been cancelled.

Indeed it looks like they have cancelled a lot of sUA operations into BOS -- lots of 757/319/320 cancellations from EWR and IAD, at least.

We're now booked on the morning LHR-EWR connecting a 3:49-5:05 p.m. EWR-BOS. Our flight is an island amid a sea of cancellations into BOS:
