Exactly Hobo... NH Y is far less comfortable than UA E+. And lets not forget too that many Japanese find reclining your seat to be rude and will sometimes say something about it on planes... at a minimum the flight attendants will force you to put your seat up during meals, regardless of if you were trying to sleep and skip the meal.

I do have to laugh at these threads that pose questions like "UA C or SQ Y. Which is better?"

C >> Y

Some of us wouldn't be able to get E+ for free. So with the option of putting my mother in UA Y or NH Y, its no question which I booked her.

hogo74

Not sure if this has been posted already, but one can also take partial advantage of this fare for departures after 9/26 as long as the return is on one of the Tu/We allowed for this fare. In other words, you can use a more expensive fare on the outbound but the cheap fare on the return.

Example for UA:

Oct 9 NYC-SIN
Oct 16 SIN-NYC

$865.

None of the LAS/LAX to MNL fares are bookable. I have tried numerous times all day and they never come up. The AA.com site just says they are unavailable when you try and book them. OTAs don't even pull them up.

HCA

I know someone can use this. However, I can't find something good ex-SFO.

Only dates I can get this to work from midwest cities is Sept 26/27....is there anything later in October / November on DL, or am I stuck with Sept 26/27??

Last week I got orders to move to Seoul. I wish ICN were as low as other places. I could use it to go find an apartment next week.

antonius66

I tried UA with those dates and cities and got 800 something..with those exact same flights. Last seat must have sold. ITA never gave me UA as a choice.
