Odd that BWI and DCA are covered, but not IAD...? I have a flight from IAD tomorrow, really hoping they'll fix this (assuming) oversight.

Suspect it is an oversight but we should keep an eye out for a late breaking addition... David |
I feel lucky that I don't have to fly until 12/31 after seeing all of these waivers and hearing of horror stories of folks getting canceled, rebooked, canceled again, etc.

Did I miss something in the forecast? What east coast winter weather 12/26-12/29?
(Waivers are always welcome, I'm just confused by this one) |

I was thinking the same thing -- too much sun for winter?

Probably just digging out of rebooking issues from most recent storm and offering options. Looking the the weather, do not see anything predicted for those areas.

My son's friend (our houseguest) was to fly out of EWR last night.. flight delayed twice. Show up to check in (11pm - midnight) and there was nobody from United there to process the people and their bags. Anything automated wasn't working. I made a second drive to EWR to pick him up and bring him back for another night with us. No explanations from UA, nada. Son's friend rescheduled for tonight at no cost to him.. Funny that he wanted to do that originally but they quoted him a very high price and he decided to stick with his original plan. We're fortunate that it's only a 15 to 20 minute drive to the terminal.
I tend to think it was the accumulative effect of holiday travel and weather related issues from the previous 2 - 3 days. United knew that flight (and probably a couple others) was pending and that there were passengers waiting. I feel bad for the ones that were stranded without a place to go.. I hope someone from United stepped up and helped them out. |

Bunch of winter storms about to his the West Coast which will affect the Rockies - and then continue across the country to affect the East Coast.
David It is supposed to be sunny and mild (for December) through the 29th for that part of the country. |

As others have said, :confused:

Just because some predictions say sunny some place at this time doesn't mean that the system won't get affected elsewhere. Or would it be better to not have any waivers in place like WN during this past summer in FL (and see some quotes over in the WN Forum) and let things meltdown? David |

Would you rather that UA have _no_ waiver in place depending on what is happening weatherwise within its scheduled flights ala WN?

David If UA is expecting cascading operational issues to spread around the system due to bad weather on the West Coast or in the Rockies or wherever, they should just call it a "Proactive Travel Waiver" or somesuch, and it should apply systemwide, not just to the East Coast cities listed. Also, some of the cities listed are solely regional Express destinations which almost certainly would not be directly impacted by bad weather on the West Coast. (And FTR, in case there is any doubt, I am certainly not blaming YOU for what UA is calling this. And I think WN now has a systemwide waiver in place through Jan. 2.) |
Here's WN's systemwide waiver - which is cited in Summary of UA Travel Waivers: December 2022:
