United Airlines Compensation and Refund for a Delayed or Canceled Flight

Kept waiting at CDG without any reason why and kept getting a new departure time

We arrived 4 1/2 hours late (11:00 pm) The airline did not tell us. After waiting the 4+ hour layover time, we found out the flight was cancelled from the flight departure board in the Rome airport. The airline provided a bus ride to destination We were very late for our pickup in Florence and our check-in at the AirBNB accommodations Very, very poor communications

Originally had a business class ticket and was downgraded to economy.

Arrived 24 hours after initial flight. Offered change in flight approx 6 hours prior to departure

Original flight UA22 scheduled April 22. Multiple seat changes before check in, request to move to another flight and then flight was canceled. Did not auto rebook.

Our UA415 flight Milan to Chicago on 01/04/24 was canceled. We were confirmed on flight another flight UA3045 on April 2nd 2024. This flight was also canceled. The two cancelations I am referring were not caused by weather: 1) the first cancelation (UA415 on April 1st ) was caused by delayed departure of the incoming airplane from Chicago. Because of the delay, the flight was rerouted to Nice and subsequently canceled. This was not a weather related event, it was totally under United Airlines control. 2) The second cancelation ( UA3904 on April 2nd) was also not caused by weather. The Airplane was stationed in Nice and the check-in agent informed us that the airplane had mechanical problems that caused the cancelation. Due to the reasons, we would like to respectfully ask for the compensation required under the Regulation EC 261/2004 (EU261) for the following persons under reservation yuiuy Flight 1 ( UA415, April 1st).

They told us they had technical issues when we were supposed to board and originally delayed us by 2 hours, but then once 2 hours passed, they said they didn’t know when we could take off and would update us ever 30 and kept delaying our takeoff time until they eventually cancelled the flight and we had to stay overnight. They provided a hotel and one meal. I got delayed by over a day. I arrived around 9am on April 31st but was supposed to land in Madrid at 7am on April 30th. I lost a whole day with my long distance family and gained emotional trauma.

My wife and I were scheduled to fly from Madrid to Newark on 26 March 2024. The gate agent kept delaying us with no reason given other than we were not allowed to depart. (Weather apps showed the weather at Newark was bad though.) We eventually boarded after several hours, and were told we were being diverted to Boston. We taxied, however, had to return to the gate because the crew timed out on their duty hours. United provided us a hotel and flight to Newark the next day (27 March 2024).

I request reimbursement for the 533.14 EUR my fiancée and I incurred due to the cancellation of our Munich to Boston (UA8902/LH424) flight on Monday 1/22/24. We were subsequently re-scheduled four times on flights for which the tickets could not be confirmed or an overnight stay was required (without the airline offering to pay for lodging). We eventually were re-booked on the same flight the next day, Tuesday 1/23. I was advised by Lufthansa that the cancellation was operational and non-weather related. I was further told to keep receipts for reasonable food lodging and transit on phone conversations and at Munich airport by airline staff. We paid out-of-pocket for an additional night in a hotel, meals, and transit totaling 533.14 EUR resulting from this rebooking. We request a 533.14 EUR reimbursement due to the airline’s cancellation of our initial 1/22 flight due to no fault of our own.

Upon ascent, the engine made noises and basically blew up. We had to return to the airport.

Carol and I (Neil) arrived in Frankfort to depart at 5:30PM on July 3, 2023. The flight was delayed for hours after boarding the plane. The flight was cancelled after about 3 hours with the explanation that the crew would be past their maximum work hours. We were issued hotel vouchers and took a taxi to that hotel. We were shuttled to the Frankfort airport the next day for departure at 5:30 PM on July 4. After boarding there was a problem with the entertainment system and after almost 3 hours of trying to fix the problem, the flight was cancelled. We were again given vouchers for a hotel and provided a shuttle service. The next day (July 5) we were shuttled to the Frankfort airport for a 1:35 PM flight which we departed on.

Flight originally was DEN-MUN-KRK. Connecting flight to KRK arrived late so we boarded several hours late. It started snowing and we sat on the plane for 3 hours waiting to get de-iced. Then they closed the airport and we spent 2 days and nights in MUN. No Lufthansa employees anywhere to help us. LF put us on plane to FRA to KRK 2 days later. Lost our luggage, filed claim in KRK 12/3/23. Filed a claim with LF when we arrived home on 12/18/23 for lost luggage and trip delay expenses. They won't give us an update on this claim and haven't received any money from them yet.

After we boarded the airplane, the flight was delayed for the total of three hours. Then we were ordered to deboard the plane and the flight was delayed for one more hour. After that, the flight was canceled.

We were told after we had boarded the flight and after it had been delayed an hour that the flight was cancelled. We all then had to get off the plane. We were rebooked on a plane to Chicago 6 hours after the initial flight had been scheduled to depart. We arrived in Newark at 12:30am on the 1st of February over 12 hours after we were scheduled to arrive. We lost a whole day of our trip.

UA952 on 12/1/23 - boarded and sat on runway 8 hours with just 1 bottle of water because of "mechanical issues". Then after 8 hours they said the flight was cancelled, brought back to gate and rebooked to 2 days later because the snow storm cam through Munich later that night. We were rebooked on UA3020 on 12/3 and again boarded and sat on runway for 10 hours, were "diverted to Newark (where we booked a hotel) and then never took off. We deplaned and rebooked 12/4 and finally got to Chicago 12/4.

We boarded and left on time but spent 5 hours on the tarmac at Heathrow trying to fix the technical issue. The flight was then cancelled and we were given accommodation, food and transport for the evening before I was booked onto the same flight 24 hours later. My journey was to Belize, including a stopover in Houston for 13 hours. I was also booked onto the onward flight 24 hours later so my arrival at my final destination was delayed by 24 hours.

I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent experience I had with United Airlines. I believe it is essential to bring to your attention the series of unfortunate events that have not only caused significant financial strain but have also resulted in an unfavorable record in the U.S. immigration system. On August 8, 2023, I initiated a chat with one of your customer service representatives to inquire about the visa requirements for my upcoming journey from Amsterdam to Toronto, with a layover in the United States. The representative assured me in writing that I did not require a visa for the USA while transiting to Canada. Relying on this information, I proceeded to book my ticket with United Airlines. However, as the departure date approached, I discovered that I needed to apply for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) to transit through the U.S. To my dismay, my ESTA application was rejected, leading to the cancellation of my original flight. This unexpected turn of events not only resulted in additional expenses (Air Transat 1141.38 euros) for rebooking a flight without a U.S. connection but also left me with an adverse record in the U.S. border and immigration system due to the rejected visa application. I promptly contacted United Airlines and requested a refund for the original ticket, given the circumstances. The response from United Airlines was to provide a credit, which I appreciate. However, my concern arises from the fact that, despite the status indicating that the refund has been completed, I have yet to receive the corresponding amount back to my credit card. I must emphasize that I am facing both financial and personal repercussions as a result of the misinformation provided by your representative. The $811 represents a considerable sum for me, and the rejection of my ESTA application has left a lasting negative impact on my record with U.S. immigration authorities. This situation is not only distressing but has also created an undue burden that I believe should be rectified. I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter and urge United Airlines to expedite the refund process, ensuring that the funds are promptly returned to my credit card. Additionally, I would appreciate clarification and assurance that appropriate measures will be taken to address the misinformation provided by your representative, preventing such incidents in the future. I understand that errors can occur, but the consequences of this particular situation are far-reaching and deeply troubling. I trust that United Airlines values customer satisfaction and will take the necessary steps to rectify this matter promptly. Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing issue. I look forward to a swift resolution and your prompt response.

Delayed 3 1/2 hours after boarding. Caused us to miss our connecting flight in chicago. Could not get us another flight home that day. Food vouchers they gave us did not work. Ended up having to rent a car and drive home.

The initial flight departing Munich departed approximately 2 hours later than originally scheduled. The delay was due to a backlog of aircraft needing to de-ice before takeoff. The pilot of the flight stated that we were not on a weather delay and air traffic remained open and we were waiting for our turn to de-ice. Due to the delayed departure for the logistical problems that were caused by their inability to de-ice planes efficiently, we missed our connecting flight at Dulles. United rebooked us on a flight the following day. Total delay to my final destination was approximately 18 hours.
