Although far out tends to start with all inventory classes opened up, as cheaper fares are sold, the lower fare classes are zero'ed. As time goes on, UA may re-open the lower fare classes.

There is more to pricing than just fare classes.

There also needs to be a fare rule filed for the fare class with a price. It is not unknown for UA to never file a fare rule for the lowest fare classes --- especially G & N.

Additionally a fare rule for a K fare at 10 months out will not be the same price as a K fare at 1 month out. So you may be able to get a K fare later that is more expensive then a T or S fare today.
