No UA fares on travelocity
doing a couple of fare checks, IAD-SIN, IAD-HKG, IAD-LAX. Nada.
Must be doing wholesale reload. ITA only gets a few fares, probably cached.

Nothing outside of united.com. How odd that they choose to do this at 11:30 (EST) rather than at say, 3am...

It seems like an awfully bad idea to do this during working hours on a weekday... le sigh. I'd love to give UA my money, but paying 4x more than on DL for the same route isn't really justifiable...

Travelocity's reply:
Dear Pat89339:
Thank you for writing to Travelocity.
We are sorry that you were not able to obtain your requested selection.
Our system pulls the information from the Sabre network onto the site based on the data you enter in your search parameters. The airlines publish their information in Sabre and are responsible for updating it at least 5 times a day at times of their own choosing. Because the availability is sold in real time, the information can become past-dated between updates.
We ask that you try another selection online. We are sorry for the distress this has caused you.
Sincerely,
JXX T
Obviously Jim T didn't understand that no United Fares were showing for any destination. They still aren't.

AC fares have been gone from Travelocity fare listings for almost a month now (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=538451), and now it appears that the same thing is happening to UA fares ...

I tried search for UA on Travelocity for May 17-24 ORD-LHR and found UA options for $592 roundtrip, which was the same fare for AA and lowest for the dates selected.
ORD-HKG for the same dates brings back a $1,302 fare on the non-stops UA 895/896.

This is in the fare lookup function, not the trip search function. I see ANA, CO, AA, SQ, CI, but no UA fares (still).

This is from ExpertFlyer? And which GDS is it displaying?
