Give me some sample dates where you see DCA-ORD nonstops (OD) on co.com?
Let me take that back - if I select "ALL" - I get DCA-ORD with CO flight numbers on UA metal.
Looking at dates in August, UA is $628+ RT, versus CO at $184+ RT. CO is via CLE or EWR.
I suspect those UA flights will come down. But I am not stupid - if these were the choices, I would likely continue to fly CO DCA-CLE-ORD (like I have many times in the past) for the huge fare difference.
