Answer by Richard H
Talk to the ticket agent. They should be able to get you on a different flight.

Answer by Geoff S
Call 1-800‑864‑8331

Press 0; say “agent,” say “yes”; say “domestic”

I am stuck in Denver because my flight to Indy was cancelled on Wednesday. I called the United number 800 241-6522 – but don’t press any of the instructed numbers. Eventually, it says “if you are calling from a rotary phone, please stay on the line, and a customer service rep will ……. ” . This is the only way I could talk to a person. Ends up you are talking to someone in India, with a strong accent. Hard to understand, but no control over that. I waited on hold 40 min. and then 1hr & 20min the second time. Must be patient. Denver airport had 5,000 people sleep at the airport last night. Obviously they are trying to accomidate tons of people due to the ripple affect that this has throughout the country.
I will not get home until Christmas Day at earliest.

Good Luck

2 things.

A.Call them back and press 0, even if you hear the automation message, it just might get you to an operator of some kind.

B. With it being cancelled to you still have access to change cities within your original flight from the website of AA.com, expedia.com, or wherever you bought if from.

good luck.

You might have better luck calling a local LAX united number instead of the 1-800 number. Calling or going in person is really the only way to do it.

It might be easier to go to the airport and they can give you information. I know there are a lot of flights cancelled due to the snowstorm in Denver (big hub for United. Unfortunately, United Airlines is absolutely the least helpful of any airline I have flown and I fly like 6 or 8 times a month. But if you talk to a person make sure to get their name (and if they’re not helpful threaten to file a complaint against them personally).
