Yesterday i chose my travel for 9/24-28 and USAir won with a fare of $391 out of CLE
Closest United could get from any of the 4 airports I mentioned was $752.
DL came in at $419.
Chose USAir out of CLE to at least continue work on hitting PLAT Status again.
Flying DL this week from CAK.
Comparing airline-to-airline fares on trips with such short notice is problematic. Fare difference may not reflect different fare structures but rather only different seat availability. That said, if one doesn't have much notice, then one of course has to worry about inventory.
