Today's (06/20/17) FAA ATCSCC advisories list/database have a number of advisories for Shiveluch's volcanic activity. Since it is on the Kamchatka peninsula, its ash clouds may be affecting flights into Asia.

UA is saying WX, but the interesting thing is that they were able to get a ton of other a/c to NRT today, but must be so severe they could not route around it

Does anyone have details of UA900 LHR-SFO 20 June and what eventually happened to it? I was on it but got off when it was apparent it was not going to be fixed in a timely manner and then it showed via my push notifications as having departed on time albeit to ORD - which it patently hadn't !

Did engine number 1 not get its Weetabix then? They told us first that it was an engine air bleed issue then de-icing issue. The EC261 claim has gone in so it will be interesting to see if they class catering issues as extraordinary circumstances.

Where do you find that info please? Is it somewhere publicly accessible? Thanks.

Can't believe IAH hasn't been included on the waiver list. My better half is flying central America through IAH tomorrow and they are not willing to reroute, even though a tropical storm warning and imminent disruptions are in store for IAH. If she is cancelled, the second flight through IAH (the only UA metal flights) is already full, and so are the flights for Friday. Not sure why they can't act preemptively here to get her on Copa via PTY, or even Avianca. Not even the GS line is willing to help on this one.

Not sure what happened, but I landed in SFO last night to complete Chaos - more than usual

ORD-Shanghai (Or some Chinese city - but I think it was Shanghai) Had a toilet malfunction in flight and had to divert to SFO, took them a few hours to fix toilet, then trying to herd cats getting everyone back on the plane.

I didn't that much attention as I had my own issues with missing flights.

Unfortunately not - it's pulled from UA's internal systems via ExpertFlyer. However the flight status page for UA900 was saying "canceled due to catering difficulties" if you're looking for proof of anything.

N104UA looks like it's flying an extra section today LHR-SFO as UA2707. I would suspect that mx is the real reason the flight canceled and someone just messed up typing it into the system

It was actually a double-whammy at SFO yesterday (see below)
