Thumbs up Booked!

United does this from time to time. I think it's United Express that spearheads this as IAH is NEVER part of the deal...always out of DFW. At least there's competition there!

Booked ten today...5 for July 4th and 5 for Thanksgiving.

Most of the routings are via LAX or SFO, but I was able to find some through IAH both ways (does requires an RPU or cash buy up to upgrade via IAH).


These HNL fare wars from competitor hubs are great -- though positioning from the west coast can be a bit of a pain. I have seen AA match this once from EWR. Good luck!

Thanks OP booked 8 of these for about 70,000 PQMs. The 500 minimum for DFW-IAH is great!

Time to sleep.

Yeah, but some weekend dates are only $14 more. (Hell, I'll loan you that if you can't purchase otherwise.)

Sample dates: 13JAN - 14JAN (Sunday departure)

You're right. It was a little more difficult to buy, but I was able to score some. LIH/OGG are also available at about the same price.

Thanks for posting!

Did AA match out of DFW?

I know they didn't retaliate out of IAD

Don't have to, looks like Fare Gone.

Went to UA.com (have certs to use), found the $4XX fares, clicked, and a $7XX popped up on select flights page. Went back, and all fares are over $600. Ditto on ITA

Should have checked last night

Glad I booked them before I went to bed at 3AM in the morning!

I was afraid they would pull it fast!

Is the fare gone, or have the min. stay requirements changed?

For example, DFW-OGG, 25FEB - 05MAR, orbitz, $408.
