But the more expensive price is the only one United intended to offer and exposing it is likely to accomplish nothing except for a fix for that bug.
^^^ Thanks for being the voice of reason.

I wonder if they pull the same crap on premium tickets.
Will have to investigate.
Thanks for the heads up!
There's nothing unsavory going on here except a pro-consumer bug.
