Stumbled on this on a quick ITA peruse tonight. Books into K. Spotty availability mostly Sept-EOS.
I was going to book before realizing that UA tubed the annual E+ option in March. On top of taking away free E+ for Silver at booking, I'm joining with so many others to say to hell with UA. They've been my back up for the last few years and I love the occasional bargain fares, but I'm not interested in BOB seating. E+ on a per segment basis would about double the fare. :td:
Posting this deal anyway and hope others find it more useful than I do.

+1 I agree completely. The "new" UA sucks for us 25-50k per year flyers. Hope they realize the mistake they are making.

Thanks for the PDX fare!
Re: your comments on UA: I feel the same way regarding Silver and Gold status, but locked in with only a couple hundred thousand miles to go before million miler status. Not sure if its worth bailing at this point.
Was 1k last year and landed as GM this year.. what a bummer.

Not to wander too far off topic, but I really feel for you all who are less than 1K this year. You got royally screwed in my opinion, especially on the bonus mile issue. If I ever drop to below 1K, I'm comping out to another airline.
