Inbound aircraft delayed will my flight be delayed ?
« on: October 07, 2014, 02:57:24 PM »
I am flying UA 445 tonight at 829pm from JFK and flight is still showing on time.

The inbound aircraft flight 760 from SFO is delayed 2 hours and wont be here in time.

Will my flight be delayed or will they be able to find another aircraft ?

UA OPS will determine that. If they are using the in bound aircraft you obviously will not be leaving on time.

That decision will not be made right away and I would recommend checking again 3 hours prior to departure.

2 hours?  They'll probably wait...

And now the delays start.

They switched our aircraft to one coming from LAX so we have a 45 min delay.

Just flew EWR-LAX and the inbound was delayed but within 10 min they had switched our gate and had us boarding another plane. Very surprising for the airline industry today.
