Innacurate Results Generated by "My Dates Are Flexible"
Anyone else experience the pitfalls of the results generated on the calendar when selecting the "My Dates Are Flexible" button.
Over the past two weeks I have given up on this feature. If you are truly looking for your best pricing, you need to manually search around your flexible dates. The calendar will almost always display a result that is higher than the lowest available fare on those date. Conspiracy theorists will allege that this is intentional on UA's part. I believe this in attributable to inept IT.
EG...for example, try a one day search for BUR-LGA starting 9/21/2013. Click on any date in the calendar and the best available fare will show something entirely different. My results have been similar for other city pairs.
