NYC-LAX 100.00++ on UA – no min. stay"

As this isn't a mistake fare, there would be no harm in posting this info.

It may take less time for one person to search for this, but certainly not for the 1,010 people that have already viewed this post.

The mods have thought and rethought and rediscussed what to request. As a member that respects their effort, I will post what they request.
All I'm asking is IN THE RARE CASE that an OP doesn't post the airline, or RT or OW and someone else wants to go there as apparently people in this thread do. Can't they do a simple search and then post a reply with airline instead of asking what airline? Then those other 1000 clicks don't have to "waste their time" as another poster stated.

The sticky is a nice guideline but it isn't always going to be followed. Anybody doing a MR can find the fare with a little guidance and then post the Airline if it is really that important. ]
