FYI, when I tried (as an experiment) to initiate a 'change flight', I received an error message and was told to call to make changes.

All the recent negative PR they've been getting may work to our advantage  :)

They still haven't ticketed one of my TLV to HKG routes, but they said it's confirmed, and my HKG to CLE depends on it. Think I'm out of luck? (assuming that they honor it)

Keep dreaming. I guess if you fly right away you will make it, if not, there is no way they are giving away hundreds of free first class tickets. This will cost them hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in losses.

If you fly right away, before United has reached a decision on how to handle the situation, you have a chance, like the other guy in this forum. I wonder if he will be stuck in Hong Kong...

If they honor this, the custom suit market will see a nice uptick!
