THANKS NETZIH!!

I am still looking for data points as to whether people skipping the flight to YYZ will get partner credit. I believe the earliest flights available in this deal were in November (although if I'm wrong and people were already able to take some of those flights, please correct me), so I assume we'll have to wait until mid-to-late November for the brave individuals who chance it to educate the rest of us.

1) Don't credit your miles to United. There have been many reports of United miles being clawed!

that chances are that tomorrows flight will get cancelled and then we will have to sit on the phone and rebook and we will both get major headaches all bec of this 1st flight on a small aircraft that cant handle the winter weather, so if we would just drop that flight, we will all be fine and well and nobody will incur a terrible headache

I tried for 7X and failed. This time I got a rep that asks me where you coming from I say Ocean County, NJ he says I grew up there in Lakewood near Coventry Square... He was nice but too smart to let it go. He mentioned he used to be in the marine corps so he knows how to follow rules. He really felt bad but said he likes his job too much! He wanted to know why I  am going back to Toronto??

I guess I will wait until the morning and try again. He said I should not worry since if we get cancelled there is a UA flight from EWR with seats.

According to the reports I saw it seems the bad weather kicks in much later than 9 PM

Do you think I lost out by dropping the leg.

My choices were keep what I had which would mean if we get cancelled in EWR, I would have gotten rerouted on United but it is full in economy. I had  the 2 Upgraded seats that I didnt want to lose

Weather. Also, the agent said maybe our flight from PHL would be cancelled since that is where the bad weather will be.

Looks like the strong winds will start after midnight but it will be raining throughout the day. Are you in this flight?

I was originally leaving from Newark so I think it is better than what I had.

Good luck! The rep told me due to the call volume they aren't rerouting on partners... Let me know exactly how made up that is:)
