Nothing has been mentioned which website would be used. IMHO they should combine the best of both websites and create a whole new one. For example CO with it's flight info and UA with the award etc. As for directv being installed on PMUA fleets hasn't been mentioned.

Well whtever everyone like about UA website something about being able to select all sorts of flights at once, rather thn the CO version where only 1 set of flights per page anyway combine tht with the flight info status page from CO.com
Yes DTV will continue to be installed on the PMCO fleet, however I'm not sure about the PMUA fleet.

allows selection of up to 50 different flights/combinations per segment.

You don't pick "combos" on the UA site (revenue or award) - you see both outbound and return options on the same page, but choose each direction individually. Outbound on left side of the page, return on the right. Much better, IMO.

I find it annoying, especially when doing revenue booking, because it doesn't list the price for "if you choose this segment the cheapest price is...."

ore flight options when building a trip with the CO site. As noted above, the CO site also makes it easier to determine the least expensive sets of flights and t
see the price differences between different flights.

It would be very easy to combine the two capabilities. But having to hit the "back" button during booking to experiment with different combinations is an extremely poor user interface decision.

I know how the UA site works. I've used it many times. I think it stinks. I have far, far, more flight options when building a trip with the CO site. As noted above, the CO site also makes it easier to determine the least expensive sets of flights and t see the price differences between different flights.

.bomb will also tell you the lowest price, and allows you to see the price differences between flights.
