My united flight for tomorrow got canceled, The only flight they offered me
(other then shabbes...) was  on Monday which very late for me, I asked the airline if I book with another airline will they refund me, they said I can submit a request for a refund but its not guaranteed since its weather related.
Does anyone have experience with such a request? will they approve it?
Don't don't do anything on your own, have the United book you on a different airline.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

I got my United Plan B flight on Wednesday rescheduled on LH confirmed Business JFK-MUC-TLV
You had to call in or they rebooked you on their own?

And did they book you full fare ticket or was it an award?

I have a booked J and Y flight on UA this Sunday that I plan on cancelling if I cancel my J ticket I get back $2,600 was a paid ticket for $3,100 but the Y ticket only if I can get a letter from a Dr, should I hold on cuz chances are that I would get bumped and get nicely compensated because a lot of people will need flights?

I'm at JFK most flights are leaving on time.

I've never seen the airport/lounge so empty in middle of the day.

And did they book you full fare ticket or was it an award?

I used the callback number, the first rep said she could only rebook on a united flight on Thursday with I class requested as there were no available award seats., but Thursday would be too late for me  and I was nervous that Plan B wouldn't work with so many cancelations so I HUCA'd and the second rep booked me in I class confirmed on LH on Wednesday evening without charging me the mileage difference. B"H I don't have to go to the airport early...

United cancelled my original flight. They rebooked me onto LH, in Y class. I used points to upgrade to business. The second segment got canceled. United rebooked me on a crazy routing, but it was the only one that got me where I needed to be. But, all of a sudden I'm back in economy in low fare classes....

I've spent more than 5 hours on the phone with them. I'm ready to shoot myself.

Friend had a return flight to lga on aa that was canceled today. Thing is, that he never intended to fly this flight, since he already came back to lga last week, since something came up and he needed to come home early.
What are his options now, can he call aa in a few days, and ask to be refunded for this return portion of his rt ticket? Will aa do it? Does it matter that he bought it on priceline and not on aa.com?

He should prob call right away. Say something to the tune of, I needed a sooner flight then the one you put me on, therefore I bought another ticket. Can you just refund this portion of my ticket.

After 7 hours on the phone with UA and LH, we are finally left with this:

Quote
Flight on Wednesday, 28.01.2015 from Tel Aviv Yafo to Richmond
05:20   Tel Aviv - Ben Gurion (TLV)   
Lufthansa
Duration: 04h 45min   Lufthansa   
 LH691
09:05   Frankfurt/Main International Airport (FRA)   
Economy (M)
Layover: 03h 45min
 
12:50   Frankfurt/Main International Airport (FRA)   
Lufthansa
Duration: 09h 05min   Lufthansa   
 LH418
15:55   Washington - Dulles International, DC (IAD)   
Economy (Y)
Layover: 01h 16min
 
17:11   Washington - Dulles International, DC (IAD)   
United Airlines
Duration: 00h 49min   Other Airline   
 UA3387
18:00   Richmond - Byrd Field International, VA (RIC)   
Economy (Y)
Flight on Wednesday, 28.01.2015 from Frankfurt to New York
11:05   Frankfurt/Main International Airport (FRA)   
United Airlines
Duration: 08h 55min   Other Airline   
 UA969
14:00   New York - Newark International, NJ (EWR)   
Economy (Y
)

For some reason, there's a flight to EWR slipped in there. I've got no clue how that happened. That flight is earlier than the flight to IAD; if we don't get on that EWR flight, is it going to cancel the rest of our itinerary?

They removed the EWR flight from the ticket.

The most annoying part is that when they switched me to LH in Y class I upgraded, and now I'm back in economy and there's no space to upgrade..  :'(

As of now not much has been cancelled arriving at JFK tomorrow, but that could always change depending on what happens.

I suspect we'll be heavily delayed as they clear up the precipitation and deal with windy conditions... Heres hoping.
