United flight to Rome strands passengers for 12 hours (wjla.com)

Passengers on United flight 884 from Washington Dulles to Rome spent nearly 12 hours on the plane Friday night due to a series of delays, including a cockpit technical issue, weather, refueling, a catering replacement, crew timeout, a door sealing problem, and a tug vehicle band breaking. The flight was eventually canceled and rescheduled for Saturday evening. United gave affected passengers $175 vouchers, but traveler Rebecca Bliden is seeking a full refund.
