Travel Waiver: Northeast Winter Weather 27-28 May 2022
Got an email about possible disruptions because of storms (flying from LGA -> ORD on 5/28, and returning on 5/30) and being able to change flights free of charge, except looking at the weather forecast there doesn't appear to be any inclement weather in Chicago, and possibly some rain on Saturday (and nothing on Monday).
I also checked https://jetstream.united.com/#/all-travel-waiver and there doesnt seem to be any travel waivers listed. Any ideas whats going on?

The DL forum has a pretty helpful explanation (https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34280853-post10.html) — it's not ORD but LGA — thunderstorms in the NYC area on Friday will probably mess things up

I received the same email - I am flying LAX to EWR on Saturday morning and connecting to a flight to Rome that evening in business. My problem is this ticket was booked through Amex Platinum travel and is a codeshare ticket with Brussels Airlines. When I called United, they said I would have to call Amex if my flight is cancelled or delayed (which I understand) but that there is nothing I can do unless or until my current flights are cancelled or delayed.
Does that sound correct? There aren't a lot of business seats open on those Rome flights.
I guess I just wait and see?

Does anyone know if they just send this email to everybody who has a flight in and out of those airports hoping that some people will change and that they’ll have fewer people to deal with if there’s a problem? Or is this email actually targeted at flights they think will be disrupted? Because if it’s the former, then I’m not going to worry too much at this point. If it’s the latter, maybe I’ll worry a little more. But American Express travel tells me there’s nothing I can do other than cancel and do a whole new booking, until United actually makes a decision on the flight.

got the same email.. flying 6 passengers (in business) TPA-EWR-GVA.. with 6 passengers in business the next available date for us would go from 5/28 to 6/1.. really debating what to do. I think i'll just roll with it and hope our flight to EWR doesn't get cancelled or delayed considerably (2.5hr layover)
