Gotta Love the Airlines!

I'm scheduled to leave in the morning so I went on United's website tonight to set up flight paging notification and my flight from Chicago to Washington DC (to meet up with the rest of the team for the flight to Beijing) has been cancelled. Woo hoo! Managed to get myself rebooked on an earlier flight leaving at 6am instead of the originally-planned 8am so the only "cost" to me is a couple hours of lost sleep. Asked the travel agent if she'd absolutely verified that I was still on the Washington to Beijing flight and she promised she had. Wish me luck!
