At least you got a call, our flight was cancelled and they rebooked us on a flight a day earlier and 2 days later. I waited several months to see if the early November flights would return, they did not. I called a week ago to change the flight home and that was doable. We managed to keep our seat upgrade as well. Apparently United is doing 2 Saturday am flights out of EWR and all the rest are through either Miami or Charlotte. NOT happy with United...not the Friendly skies anymore. However, the folks in customer service were very helpful, as long as I stayed "thankful for anything they could do to help me out".
Fortunately our accommodations are flexible enough that we could add the days at the end. The day before will require juggling. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
