That said, Google flights is a great way to compare fares. It's definitely worth checking out.

UA was quoting me $1295, which was $200/person less. Not sure that's enough to (A) make me want to go back to my absolute least favorite airline, and (B) not be able to book some serious MQDs into my Skymiles account for the year.
