"network connectivity issues" - I'm imagining a frantic United employee on hold with the cable company.

Meanwhile, the IT dept is probably shrugging their shoulders saying, "did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?"

The change fee and any difference in fare will be waived for new flights departing between July 8, 2015 and July 10, 2015, as long as travel is rescheduled in the same cabin (any fare class) and between the same cities as originally ticketed.
For wholly rescheduled travel departing after July 10, 2015, or for a change in departure or destination city, the change fee will be waived, but a difference in fare may apply. Rescheduled travel must be completed within one year from the date when the ticket was issued.

What would one do if they have a united flight booked with ANA, or AC ?

You think booking today to HNL will allow us to reschedule to a day w/o availability currently showing? (After Friday)
