Diane from United States (USA) (United Airlines UA 986 Flight cancellation)

We were notified of the flight cancelation on June 14, 2022. We were to fly out on June 16, 2022. We were booked on the same flight but the next day - Friday, June 17, 2022. We had to get a hotel for the extra evening and added another lunch and dinner to our vacation. We also had to make arrangements for our dog at home. The airline didn't provide any care other than rebook our flight for the next day. We were put in the back of the plane and I had to call the airline to get moved back to the section we had paid prior for a small upgrade.
