DEL service suspended until July
Due to seasonal winds and the continued closure of Pakistani airspace, we’re currently unable to operate our flights between New York/Newark (EWR) and New Delhi (DEL) while meeting crew flying time requirements. Beginning April 5, in order to minimize the inconveniences for our customers, we will suspend the service until July 2 for eastbound flights and July 3 for westbound flights. We’ll continue to closely monitor this situation and remain in contact with U.S. government authorities and our international partners. We’re also reaching out directly to our customers booked on these flights to provide alternative travel options, including rebooking on other airlines or offering full refunds. We will continue to operate our nonstop flights from New York/Newark to Mumbai (BOM).

I think it was posted up thread, but it was a card with MyCloud hotel on it that they were giving to the pax in the line next to me without EU entry. Have not been there myself, even though I've been through FRA many times - wish I had known that exists for some long layovers.

Wednesday’s UA82 originally filed a route to avoid the airspace but if you look at the aircraft position at the time of the screenshot it looked to be on it’s normal route. Are restrictions lifted?
Thursday’s UA83, in addition to the stop in BGR, is delayed about 9 hours, presumably because this flight is carrying in the replacement crew that couldn’t make it due to the LHR diversion.

No, Pakistan is not yet open! FlightAware and FlightView (UA.com's contracted plotter) cannot resolve the airways from the flight plan after Saudi. If you plot the flight plan's text into SkyVector.com and see the plot, the flights are flying right along the filed route through UAE, Oman and south of Iran and Pakistan airspace.

As noted, flightaware doesn't seem to have the full plan, but it is showing the avoidance:

Not quite sure. The diverted flights from Tuesday both ferried back empty to EWR this morning, and the inbound Wednesday frames will be used as immediate turns. I don't know how the crew sorts out -- I would have guessed that the crews coming in on the Monday flights who were scheduled to operate the canceled Wednesday night flights would be used for tonight's flights without issue, but I'm not sure how crew scheduling normally works off the top of my head.

UA83 is now en route from DEL and is making the crew swap at YHZ. Flight distance is 7780 miles, time to YHZ is 16hr46 which is 20 minutes longer than the SFO-SIN I flew back in November.

I am on UA 49 in a couple of days and this morning my seat was randomly swapped from a premium plus row to row 38 and I can no longer get that seat back. The aircraft still has the same configuration so no idea what happened.
