I'm surprised both flights are still showing as "on time." Proactively booked a room at the EWR Hilton for two nights just in case and I can extend my TLV stay if needed. ps: from where did you get that screen snap? update: 1703 just cancelled. I am Jack's total lack of surprise. aaaannnnd 85 just cancelled. *&^%&*@#!!! I had a GPU clear, even! |

Interestingly, I don't see *any* sUA service into BOS -- I wonder whether they (1) are just planning to cancel the sCO flights later, or (2) are planning to try to just operate terminal A? |

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.
They prefer to book UAL, then *A OAL, then another OAL. |
School has already been cancelled in Boston for Friday. I'm sure soon everything will be cancelled. Ive been hearing that MA Emergency management has been quoting much higher snow totals expected than the news is reporting
|
Point being, would it be worth giving up a cleared SWU in advance to plan for an alternate flight? |
My sfo-jfk was canx this morning but had a nice re-booking experience on the phone getting me in a couple hours later. Nice service from UA for me on this one!

Yes. So long as your flight is delayed or cancelled, they can rebook OAL if there is no reasonable UA option. The reason for the delay or cancellation should have no impact in your rebook options.
They prefer to book UAL, then *A OAL, then another OAL. This agent says that she sees OAL availability, but "because it's within 24 hours, we need to call the other airline and confirm it." She says she needs to call DL to confirm it, and "that could take 45 minutes" (she's just apparently called their main reservations line). Is this typical? Anything I can do to speed things up? |
UA84 is still coming to TLV from EWR tomorrow, even though the return UA85 is cancelled. So any idea what happens next? Does that 777 just sit here until EWR reopens? I've never had an irrop on an international before. Do I have to do anything (as if there's anything I could do)?

Thanks.

They're supposed to call the OAL to be safe. If you have DL status, maybe conference in DL for them? Once they get that going, it will take some more time to reissue. |
I had a HNL-JFK mileage run Feb8-9 (6 hours in JFK), and my JFK-SFO on the 9th got cancelled. I called and asked if I could instead go to SDF from 7-10 Feb - the agent first said they are waiving change fees, but I would have to pay the fare difference, which I knew would be huge. I started to hang up, but she said, "Hang on, let me plug it in and see what the computer says <pause> Computer says it's an even exchange, so no charge!" Cool - put a check mark in the positive IRROP experience column for 2013. ^
