+1. I usually use ITA to check out the routings. It does list (while .bomb does not) other airlines' codeshares on UA metal (.bomb does UA metal on UA metal, or UA codeshare on other's metal, but I've never seen, e.g., LH codeshare on UA metal). Sometimes these codeshares (on UA metal) can be cheaper (and sometimes not). And as always one has to be sure the fares, routings, etc. are the same to allow an apples to apples comparison.
