Due to a death in the family, we have to fly to SFO on short notice, and we cannot stay long. Of course, United wants an arm and a leg for paid flights, so I looked for award travel. Thankfully, saver economy is available each way. However, not on the CLE-SFO-CLE non-stops, which would be ideal. On a hunch, I checked the "old" website. Sure enough, it shows saver economy on the non-stops! Booked 'em, Dano!
RNE, dumbfounded.
Is the fare bucket actually different on the two sites? Or is it just showing "not available" for those flights on a search? I have noticed that most likely nothing will show regardless of how one searches, unless I am in expert mode and clicking on the details of each flight option, looking to see if that fare bucket has inventory.
