I think that it was the poster that was talking about the TXL-EWR that was delayed.

Yes you are right I was booked initially on TXL to EWR but got rebooked thru Munich so I have only about 2 hours delay so no compensations for me. Maybe UA will do a goodwill since I had to wait on hold about an hour to be rebooked

as a result:

UA963 TXL EWR on Dec 21 shows a 7 hour delay
Funny enough I was on a CO EWR-TXL flight that turned around over Halifax and headed towards CLE. I actually pulled out the magazine to see where that even was! Apparently the 757 was going to have to go there for the MX issue so they dropped us there, flew us to EWR on a new plane and then got to spend about 4-5h at the Wyndham Garden Inn before our recovery flight the next morning. I still made that Halloween party at Bar Tausend that night!

More ORD-CDG problems. 987 12/25. First plane had arrived the previous day from LHR (and that flight had a 3 hour mechanical delay. We were all queued up to board when they announced it will be a few minutes and then “we have no cabin lights but they’re bringing out another plane.” Back to the lounge where we drank them dry of Scotch. We depart 2 hours late on the replacement AC to discover that we water system was irrop with no water in the lavs or for coffee or hot water. That cold warm towel really hit the spot! No compensation offered as of yet.
