* United Airlines will do everything practical to ensure we provide the most accurate flight status information at all times. However, situations change quickly and many factors affect our scheduled operations. Please understand that a flight listed as "Delayed" may, depending on the circumstances, depart "On Time." Unless your flight has been listed as "cancelled" we suggest you always check-in for the original scheduled departure time of your flight.
