When I was cabbing out to ORD this morning just around 05:00, I can attest that there were multiple lightening strikes in the sky to the north of the airport. But I didn't see any rain.

The other point is that you have contracted with UA for transport from point A to point B. You have not purchased a particular routing. UA specifically has the right under the CoC to alter the routing.

Isn't the earlier departure time the bigger problem here? OP says the new flight departs over one hour earlier. Making that change without content and notification sounds a bit annoying.

She then proceeds to ask if I want to have one of the two AAA-BBB options confirmed. Honesty only one option would work as I can’t make the first one.

Any time this has happened to me, I’ve received a call in advance, presenting me with options. One time I was not flying out of my home airport, that flight was oversold, they called me 4-5 hour ahead, saved me a 2-hour drive each way (and changed my return flight so my car was at the right airport), and scored a $250 voucher for my “troubles”. But most importantly, no changes were made without my permission.

Your supposition makes little sense unless -- maybe -- AAA is SFO and they're trying to clean up the mess from runway construction. UA might occasionally try to clear an oversell by moving someone onto a more convenient flight, but the idea that there's a big conspiracy to avoid giving vouchers seems over the top. If you had tried to board your original flights, you would have been accommodated on them. Did you look at the flight statuses? Did they go out full, with no standbys cleared? I will give you some credit, though -- at least you didn't blame this on somebody wanting to open a space for non-revs... |

Would the OP have been able to take the original flights, with upgrades and seats intact? My understanding is that the OP's reservation or ticket was changed by UA without the OP's consent. If OP had simply gone to the airport as planned, he would have missed the new flight. Then what would have happened? Would UA have considered this a no show and just cancelled the ticket?

My understanding is they just added some protection segs, neither of which were confirmed:

OP was un-checked in -- which is SOP in this situation, and doesn't mean anything -- and then they had the original flights plus two backup nonstop protection flights added.

What route did OP eventually fly? Maybe OP only planned on flying AAA-ORD and not ORD-BBB?
