Hmm.
So now I see L available for return on UA (2nd leg on Shuttle America dba United Express) but the fare on UA is $1354.80 - is that because of that Shuttle America hop?
I suppose the real question is how do I know if that farecode is even available on any days on United? (since L bucket availability could be one of serveral L-fare codes)
Even on an ITA Matrix search I'm not seeing under $1250
Sigh, I thought this would simplify things
