UA 84 today

Sat on tarmac for 7 hours until it eventually got cancelled. Wonder why they go unnoticed compared to ELAL.

Thousands of flights cancelled/delayed today, so it doesn't make news.
What happened to 3 hour rule?

My parents supposed to fly ua85 in business it cancelled. The night flight is sold out and the next day only has available in economy. Any tips? They don’t mind a stopover so long as it’s a short one. Any help is greatly appreciated

First they were rebooked Swiss air tomorrow but called again and changed that to polish 1 hour after their original departure with 2.5 hour stopover so not too bad. Thanks

Not sure why you say that. I've gotten it in the past.

I learn something everday, UA will fly you on other alliances. They always just look for  *A for me.

When do they do this, and how to get it?

They will definitely try *A first. But if it's due to a technical issue (not weather), you can try to demand that you need to fly non-stop.
