What a laugh! All of a sudden all you guys come out of the woodwork to condemn me for working the system?

Finally, you admit you're trying to work the system.

Apparently in the letter above they wrote that they only compensate if the delay is over 4 hours.
It appears at this point that your delay will be 3.5 hours...

I doubt it's on purpose, but they try as hard as they can for under 4 hrs.
They're prob just trying their best to get you to your destination --
I just remembered that timeframe for his letter (link below) However, if it's 4+ hours delay, then you may very well be compensated... (after the fact..)

Airline: United
Flight: TLV-BRU-EWR-CLE-ZRH-TLV
Class: Economy
Incident: Called to confirm KSML 3 days b4 booking and was told there was no ticket due to the point that I didn't confirm it after 24 hrs even though it said nothing in the email about calling them. Called to take care of it and got a very rude supervisor on the phone that helped nothing.
Compensation: $250 travel certificate. Way too little in my opinion

You are now over 4 hours (as we figured would happen). Good luck - Hopefully at least now you'll be compensated.

thank you so much. they still wanted me to arrive at the regular scheduled departure times just in case they somehow get a flight out on time. seemed like a good time to use my united club passes. lots of school work to do and unlimited beer! what could be bad!!!

good that you were productive and enjoyed the work time...
1) I'd still try to get some compensation
2) In the future, if you're in a rush you could take the earlier flight LAX > IAD and then a 20-30 minute cab ride (esp at 2am) to get your car in the BWI lot.

true but i had just flown RT lax to iad from baltimore last week and was not in the mood of going back there again. it really is a hassle, esp in my case since i wasnt really in such a rush....

No one can answer that question for you, but 7k miles < $100.
