That's an awesome agent.
David I said yes to whatever she suggested; from PVG-ORD-ORF to PVG-SFO-IAD-ORF. |
My MCO-IAD mid April changed from a 739 to a domestic 772. UA auto assigned me a middle seat :rolleyes:

Have CDG-EWR saver J award flight late April booked a long time ago, with Mrs Tarheelnj. 773 chosen for the 2nd cabin bulkhead because of my height. Just noticed (no heads-up) an aircraft swap to a 781, reassigned to a few rows from the back of J. Bulkhead already taken. I called to ask if we could swap out to the later non-stop with open bulkhead, and was told no (or yes, if I paid another 140k miles). The agent said only a meaningful schedule change is grounds for a "free" flight change. Anyone have experience getting this type of change approved? I'm fine to keep calling if it's at agent discretion.

No, this does not qualify for a free/invol change. You'd need a more substantial change in seating configuration, e.g., going from 1-2-1 Polaris to 2-2 domestic F.

2 min phone call for free seat with extra legroom!
Hope this is the right place to post this.
I received an email that my upcoming UA flight from LHR to EWR was delayed/pushed back 30 mins. I saw a post from someone on FT that encouraged us to call in any time there is ever a schedule change made to our flights, as it is an opportunity to be compensated by the airline. I called UA and asked what they can do because of this inconvenience and they updated me to a seat with extra legroom for free! Only took 2 mins. If you don't ask, you don't get. I'm curious, what have you gotten for free in compensation due to a forced schedule change? Any tips for future reference? |

Finally, because it's UA metal, I can now select E+ for free (as a Gold) :) |
Schedule Change Timing
Is the most recent UA schedule change (in my case for CHS-ORD and EWR-CHS) likely the last one before my July 2023 trip, or should I expect another round before then? Thanks.

UA generally firms up the schedule (in ~monthly blocks, though summer/end of year holiday periods get included earlier) about 3 months out and finalizes the schedule about 6 weeks prior (barring anything major like airport capacity issues, equipment grounding etc, no changes should happen within that window). For July flights you could theoretically have changes into late/mid May, but this month/next month should be the last big round of any changes.

EWR- CDG Plane change
Since we are on the subject involving CDG, starting tomorrow they are suddenly temporarily scaling back from 787-10 to a 777-200 for 6:30 Flt out of EWR for a week. There will be many unhappy souls because flights are way oversold now . Anyone have any idea for the A/C downgrade?

This is what UA Flight Status says 777-200, unless there is an error.
