That message seems to be there in red for all of us. Were you signed in when you did your flight search? Many of us were locked out at varying times over the last month, apparently due to someone getting access to M+ members login info. We had to call in and have UA change our pin and other security info. Maybe your PIN was de-activated, or are you able to login via other browsers with that PIN? That call only took me 10 mins, but other have reported it being much longer for them.
