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

yeah, sounds like A/C swap. Wait till tomorrow to re-select your seat, but it will most likely automatically give you the same one back even if it is not showing right now.

SFO-HKG looking like an easy upgrade in March. Y is light as well, so no need for 2x daily yet.

I understand UA not wanting to allocate an additional 2-3 77Es to this route until it gets traction.

NAP - FRA - LAX in June just got changed to NAP - MUC - LAX, layover is 4 hours instead of 2, and 2 hours later to get home. This is on Lufthansa using UA miles.

I'm assuming they won't let me change to a UA shorter flight? NAP - EWR - LAX is showing for the same day.

That should be an easy change if you want it. A two-hour schedule change is plenty to allow for a re-route on UA metal.

Great, thank you! I'll give them a call :)

Had a schedule change of ~75 min for a SFO-LAS flight. Originally booked in basic economy via an OTA due to a special discount, but I have the option to make changes myself on united.com. Also seeing option to change to a "United Economy" fare free of charge. Would that "upgrade" me to regular economy for free, allowing further changes free of charge if need be?

The ability to change/refund etc. will always be the based on the original fare. That said, UA often allows multiple changes in such situations.
The change may show but not go through (claiming you must contact the OTA), YMMV.

Update: received an email from UA yesterday (Feb 5) noting a schedule change ... about 3 days after I noticed the seat selections went missing. Nobody else but me with a seat assigned in the F cabin, so it seems they didn't reassign the other pax seats automatically.

We too was impacted by frequency change of SFO-KIX, now UA flight connecting to NH in HND. My UA flights, previously booked in W is now booked in H. As for seats, seem I have access to more forward cabin. Am crediting to UA so it wont make any difference in accrual.

Just got a change on ORD-CVG in March. Simply an aircraft change - from 737-800 to 737-700, which ain't great...but is.

Interestingly, was alerted via text message which arrived overnight, noting they had to 'change the aircraft type or seating configuration' which required a change to seats. Never gotten a text for this. And no flag in the itinerary on my account. We got moved around a bit...from 24ACDF to 24F, 25D, and two in 26. Moved us all to row 12 instead. Don't understand how these changes really get made...you'd think if 24 were like for like seats, which they pretty much are in this case, they'd just try to do that to the extent possible. Not so much.

Not thrilled about the change, given the fewer F and E+ sears, but given every time I've been to CVG on mainline in the last, decade or so, it's always gone about half empty, I see why they might do it.

Had a flight cancelation to ACV in August. Apparently the entire airport is going to be closed for commercial aircraft from Aug 14-25 for runway work. Was able to reschedule for earlier in the month.
