Vacationing in Iceland in late June and my originally scheduled return was via EWR, but looks like that itinerary was cancelled and I've been re-routed via ORD. Am I the only one that finds it odd UA dropped a Europe<>EWR frequency in favor of a Europe<>ORD frequency? Everyone who is connecting to an East Coast final destination (such as myself) now overflies their own home!

KEF-ORD flights don't fly over the East Coast unless you consider Labrador "East Coast". It's only about 300 miles further to ORD than to EWR coming from Iceland.

Well, yes, but when I look at where I want to end my overall journey, in Virginia, I'm adding 700+ miles and will cross Lake Michigan both ways that day :) (I'm not complaining, just observing!)

Is this the first time in history that someone has complained about not going through EWR? :eek:

Just think of it as more lifetime miles.

Except...award booking.

I'm sorry for your loss.

There is a KEF-ORD flight? Icelandair I would expect but UAL?

There is a ORD-KEF flight and for some random dates I checked, it was close to sold out months in advance.

I promise I'm not complaining!! Just find it very curious that now there's a major TATL leisure destination that UAL serves from one of its mid-continent hubs but NOT one of its East Coast hubs.

So had an economy basic ticket in K class go through a schedule change (SFO-KIX). It appears, that was rebooked on other flights and was put was put in full Y. Would I actually get full miles for this? We accrue with Air Canada not UA, if that makes a difference.

YMMV. UA has gotten better than it once was at correcting this prior to posting, but it's a distinct possibility when crediting to a partner airline.

Looks like SFO<>HKG will revert to 1x/day in April. It had been scheduled for 2x/day, but I just got a schedule change moving me from the midday departure to the evening departure.

I also received a schedule change notice for UA869 for 4/20 but it was just a change in departure time to 12:45pm and it's still on the schedule for now.

I'm booked on UA2347 July 23 ORD-CLE and noticed my seat assignment in F was lost, and the entire F cabin is now wide open for seat selection.

Doesn't seem like a schedule change, but maybe an aircraft swap?
