Deceptive pricing on connecting itineraries {workaround to married segment pricing}

What will UA charge on an itinerary with connecting flights? It depends on how you query the systems. The same exact flights can vary by more than 40% in cost depending on the search parameters used. Consider these examples. Which booking would you choose?






And it isn't limited to that market.






Essentially UA doesn't know how to assemble fares for connecting itineraries. Buyer beware.
