I just got this email from United, Sure looks like SFO-BLR is out at least until sometime in late July (or perhaps August as YumYum... heard). Now I've got to figure out what the easiest way is to get my money back. Hopefully one call to the 1K desk takes care of it. We'll see.

If you can wait for August... 
You can call and have them rebook you through DEL. However, it's not simple since it requires flying on another carrier to Delhi.
Their stance was that "This is a schedule change for a future flight, not a last minute change or irregular operation - the best we can do is to give you a refund".
Perhaps due to my ticket being an award..
I had to beg and plead with them to open up a saver award on one of the DEL flights to the US.
I think I'll stick to cash tickets for the rest of this pandemic and hope for better treatment. But what to do with all the miles then.. haha.
