Good news is NY can be a competitive market, so last minute trip to RDU today, United again >$1,100 same day return, this time US Air half the price on a jet rather than a turbo-prop and more flight options. Only question in my mind...who is paying these crazy rates to UA?
Soon there will be no body considering how screw up they are on the CPU!
