Dec 30, 2008Feeling the pinch and would love to share the Holidays with family??
I have found many fares for Christmas Day travel under $50 Round Trip after applying the $100 off United e-cert (readily available on CC).
I just booked by myself and junior on ua.com ORD-DEN-ORD 12/25 Depart 6:00AM return departure 6:40PM. Grand Total per person $24.80.
Fares on some surrounding days such as the 24th with returns on the 25th were only $20 - $40 higher.
ORD - DEN - ORD $24.80
ORD - WAS - ORD $48.80
ORD - STL - ORD $32.80
OMA, PIT, CMH, DAY, IND, BUF, CLE, SDF, MSP, DTW etc etc
UNDER $30 All-In.
Fare looks available now through January. I was just checking x-mas which is usually blacked out for the good deals and fund this.

Nothing against last minute EQM (at a reasonable price) but I think we should stick to posting actual fares, since ecert is not a free publicly available discount.

I checked several other cities including a couple SJC-ORD that came to $10.80 ow. Everything below $90 ow gave an error message to call UA reservations line.
Anybody successfully booked a trip below $50?
EDIT: I see that OP has but anyone else?

I found most weekends with +2 stops when adding $100 certs at $23 ow.
Looks like I can do 4 one way trips SJC-LAX-ORD-LAX-SJC... on 12/1 and on 12/2 SJC-LAX-ORD-SJC for about $100 and around 4200 EQM's per day... still 1600 EQM's short.. but you can't beat the price... I need to find two more e-certs... Hmm....

I've only checked dates in Nov and Dec and none of them are bookable for me either nonstop or 1 stop. This is the error:

Can someone please PM and help me with this? I cannot seem to make it work.
Thanks,

If you get the error message it is because the BASE fare was under $100 and it will not allow the ecert to be used.
With most cities you must pay at least $24.80 (that's the best I found) in taxes and fees.
Don't forget, you can use them on one ways also

While this is a good fare - I would agree with others that the actual fare be posted, not minus coupons one might have hanging around.

Per FareCompare, the $104 fare has been extended from ~5 Jan to ~13 Feb.
And yes, I'd prefer that quoted prices not assume coupons, unless absolutely everyone can very readily get said coupon (i.e., "printed in today's newspaper").
Oh, and with a connection in both directions (I like MSP), this is a fair price for a segment run, all on UA/UX metal.
