Is there any waiver for a flight that's scheduled for tomorrow? I couldn't find any. I would try to get my parents on a flight with only one stop. Right now, it's with a stop in YUL and then FRA.

yes there is a waiver for YUL, so you can change it for free, if you want me to help you you can pm me

rebooking on other airlines (other than codeshare) is only happening if its actually canceled.
Correct. My wife decided to try her luck anyway. I just hope if they cancel the domestic segment, it's done before she departs TLV (or better yet - before UA85 departs TLV....)

there is no snow in YYZ tomorrow, so it will not be cancelled.

But from what I understand, there may be snow in NYC

There actually is. I just checked AC's website. You're in luck. :)

@travel agent Thanks so much for your help!

Does that allow me to cancel or just change? Also, I assume I still have to go through Priceline if I booked through them?

Probably just change. Ask any TA to help you.

Yup, I let mine go as there were no waivers available and timing (arbitrarily chosen months earlier) was bad.

Anyone successful in getting their ticket changed I would like to leave a week earlier. They had a five minute itinerary change...
after 12 or 13 HUCA's I got a ticket changed to TLV-YYZ-EWR from TLV-YYZ-LGA with a half hour schedule change and a long shmooz with the call center and they offered up to 7 days date change as well + I got rebooked into M & Y instead of K & S so im netting an extra 10k miles per ticket as well

That is the definition of persistence.  Good for you!

Just curious: did you book with AC originally or Priceline? I tried a change, 3 or 4 times and was told each time that Priceline has to make change, and when I tried Priceline, they wanted to charge $300 fee from AC plus $30 Priceline change fee plus difference in fares....

I can’t speak for @a mirrer, but I booked my three trips on AC and was able to change the time of one of them that had a minor (30 minutes I think) schedule change.   Another one had a 5 minutes change and I was unable to change an undesirable overnight connection to same day.  I guess I didn’t HuCA enough like @a mirrer did.

I booked through a ta and was told that it needs to go through the travel agent so I asked her to notate the pnr and then my ta called ac and got the necessary waiver codes

I originally booked BWI-YYZ-TLV, TLV-YYZ-BWI (and saved $150 over flying from NY).

I was supposed to have a 4 to 5 hour stopover on the way back but a few weeks ago they switched it to a 1:25 stopover. I just called today (return flight is in 24 hours) and told them I did not want to be stuck in YYZ overnight and I got them to put me on a flight to LGA which leaves 30 minutes later. It took just one call.

Was a bit of a hassle: need to reticket , wait for checked luggage, move over 2 terminals, go thru security again..but pretty cool to fly direct at the price we paid. Flying back today, but don't think it will happen again.
