UA4 LHR to IAH on December 13th delayed 7.5 hours due to crew issue.
Fortunately I was able to get on UA879 arriving earlier than UA4 but it definitely messed up my schedule.
Assuming there is no EU261 claimable as I was able to get on an earlier flight?

It is the delay at your final destination that counts compared to what it should have been had you been on UA4 and its scheduled landing time. So, if you arrived at IAH on UA879 >4 hours later than UA4s scheduled landing then 600 euros are due.

Do you happen to know what frame / aircraft # was the LAX-SIN-LAX. I'm betting it will be the cursed #3963 .

United EWr to TXL diverted 20 DEcember 2017 - why?
today I was booked initially to fly TXL to EWR UA 963 but apparently the inbound flight from EWR UA962 was diverted to IAd. That seem a very strange detour. Anybody was on that flight and know what happen? It will land in TXL like 6 hours later

Looks like they switched planes, so perhaps something happened with a maintenance issue and there was a spare 767 in IAD that wasn’t available in EWR. Just a guess

that would make sense although I don't understand why they would have took off from EWR. I was pretty pissed this morning when I saw that my flight will be delayed and I will missconect. I lost my very good upgraded seat 1A
Thank God there were some more R space available from MUC to IAd so I got rerouted

UA962 EWR TXL on Dec 20 shows a 7h30 delay due to a mechanical issue over Canada that saw it divert to IAD for a new aircraft and then took off from there at 2am and scheduled to arrive 3:24pm
as a result:
UA963 TXL EWR on Dec 21 shows a 7 hour delay
