So that agent got it wrong. I'm shocked.


No, you should not be charged the higher APD if you are in transit. UA's systems messed that up. And the agent messed up the explanation of how/why you were charged what you were. But that's very different than saying you were charged the YQ. You weren't.

No, they aren't. They're charging the different APD.
