UA canceling multiple Israel flights
« on: March 07, 2021, 01:11:17 PM »
United just canceled multiple flights to and from Israel for this week and next week. UA84/85 90/91. Just when Israel started opening back up.
Anyone knows why?

have a relative on a cancelled flight, what are the next steps they need to do ?
 just rebook on thier own and get a refund or does united have to place them on another flight for the same price ?

so if there is no ticket for the same price, then better to get them to rebook ?

Sure, but unlikely they'll rebook on non-UA.

Yes, though there are always cancellations, so check frequently for that.
Can always ask to be rebooked on another airline, but they're unlikely to go for that.
