Something about this story doesn't add up.
There is no sourcing, only a reference to an unnamed "United spokesperson".
The article indicates the policy is being instituted at O'Hare, but doesn't address any other airport in the system. So a larger-than-average passenger will fly from NY-Chicago for one price, but will be charged more on the return? Or is this a system-wide change that neither the reporter nor the "spokesperson" addressed?
Two hours after WBBM posted this on their site, it still hasn't been picked up by the AP, or any other major news outlet that I can find.
Wondering if we may see either a clarification or a retraction later in the day.
