You could call and complain to United, but I believe they are now charging a new $77 fee for each item checked with the complaint department.

An advanced search, limited to Q, V, W fares gives me some of those same flights, including those previous W fares, but at $1,256 - a $77 increase for the same days, same flights, same fare class. What gives?
