Just curious...where did you almost 'accidentally' book a BE fare. I hope not on UAs own site. I suppose it's not particularly difficult for one to not pay attention to the fare name on the top of the column there, but I find it hard to believe anyone could 'accidentally' do it with the popup that comes up, the box you have to check to accept you agree to the terms, and then have to click the button to proceed.
UA is pretty upfront about that, so don't really have much sympathy for those who go through all those steps, and still don't know.
I guess the question is: How do the OTAs handle it. Is there a warning. And do they offer an option before you purchase, to purchase the regular economy fare instead of the basic.
