Weather.Com. Forecast says snow turning to rain and high in the upper 30,s.

Then it says for tomorrow evening

Rain and snow in the evening, becoming snow late. Windy. Low 26F. Winds N at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 90%. Snow accumulating 5 to 8 inches.

Every time there is a weather event people are wondering why flights are being canceled, because their weather report is something different than somebody else's. Each time it's the same thing, cancellations now take place days before the event, because no airline wants to take the hit for a tarmac delay and the on time stats.

Quick Q guys... so I see my EWR-SJU on Sat is canceled already... which I had used miles to upgrade confirmed into R at booking a long time ago. If UA cancels a flight (as opposed to using the voluntary waiver in effect) is there any recourse in getting R space opened up on the flights you're rebooked onto? Of course I expect the answer to be no but if anybody has any tricks to share it would surely be useful ^

This is what NYC employees of my company were told:

To answer my own question, I was able to rebook online (more than 24 hours out) to another flight/destination/day. Nothing is the same ('cept the fare class); the origin, destination, date, time, etc. are different.

I'm glad I called when I called. 5 second hold. Agent actually answered as "1K Desk"

My flights for tomorrow cancelled BCN-EWR-IAH, changed to BCN-FRA-IAH on Lufthansa and i fly Airbus 380 for the first time.

So at the end it will be a great new experience thanks to the storm

Gonna be interesting for me on Saturday as I'm returning CLE-IAD-SFO....

The UX inbound for my CLE-IAD is IAD-CLE with that inbound being PHL-IAD and that flight has already been canceled

and

The inbound for my IAD-SFO flight is BOS-IAD at 9:36 and as of now, that flight is still on schedule (tho the 6am flight BOS-IAD has already been cancelled)

Going on 30 minutes on hold. Anyone actually get through in the last half hour?

Was on hold for quite sometime. Asked for a few reroutes and changes in origin airport away from the snow. The agent made the changes and put me on 30 minutes hold to get it over to a supervisor/rate desk/more people. She came back on the line and apparently the ticketing system is down :mad:. The reservation is in but I've been told to wait for a bit for it to ticket. Some of the segments were bumped up to V/Q/E due to lack of K.

Same for me (both parts). Between 10:30 and 11 Mountain.

Yes, I tried to change an existing ticket, and even searching yielded several errors. CO's systems can't keep up with this sort of stuff.

And CO's business processes are exacerbating it. The fact that supervisors are needed to approve reroutes and OALs add time to each request, and compound the phone line issues.

Maybe one of the reasons that CO is so quick to cancel is because they know they do not have the infrastructure to expeditiously rebook customers.

Exactly. So pathetic this far into the merger they still can't handle IRROPS like pmUA could.

40 minutes and counting.

My flight to Newark from Cleveland tomorrow was cancelled around 2:40 this afternoon so i suspect United won't be getting flights in or out tomorrow, at least afternoon and evening.
