UA70 EWR-AMS 764 cancelled due to maintenance. Return UA71 AMS-EWR on 4/21 cancelled as a result.
UA188 EWR-JNB 789 cancelled due to maintenance. Return UA187 JNB-EWR on 4/21 cancelled as a result.

UA260 IAD-MAD 764 suffered a tailstrike and returned to IAD as a result. A replacement 764 has been acquired and flight took off 5 hours later than scheduled. The affected aircraft (N59053) is now scheduled to do UA942 IAD-LIS today which has been delayed by almost 21 hours as the plane is supposed to be repaired. That flight has now been cancelled with no replacement flight scheduled either. Return UA943 LIS-IAD on 4/21 (actual departure would have been 4/22) cancelled as a result.

And now we know what really happened. UA801 on 4/19 was diverted due to smoke in the cabin. https://simpleflying.com/united-airl...s-cabin-smoke/

Per the above, MUC to EWR cancelled. No flights out of MUC so had to take train to FRA and connect via IAH. Not to mention the FRA-IAH is delayed 2+ hours. No reason given. No weather issues in Germany.

Inbound delay - 2 hrs late due to bag/cargo loading delays.

Via IAH to EWR. Make sure you claim your 600 EUR from UA!

LH412 has a seat in J MUC-EWR; LH404 FRA-JFK as well

Mmmm, strange. Expecting almost 2 hours at EWR. Can't see an annotation.

Left 4 minutes early, so it can’t be crew timing out. Medical?
