Flights Affected/Canx for Russian Airspace
I’m not a long haul guy, but I was wondering what flights United cancelled due to Russian airspace being off limits. I saw that United cancelled SFO-DEL and EWR-BOM. Did United flat out cancel any other flights?
Also, what flights are severely affected by the Russian airspace closure (adding 30+ minutes of flight time each way)? I don’t think I’ve seen any tech stops yet.

I think it really would be a matter of economics. I believe all the EWR or IAD to India are possible without Russian airspace. It just takes longer and costs more. Worst case is a tech stop for fuel. If the ticket prices are high enough and the demand is there, I think they would do it.
Same with Asia and Australia. All are possible from the west coast. Someone in EWR will just have to connect through SFO or LAX.
