A possibly stupid question, but...
I was trying to book a flight on united.com using awards miles. During the process, three different awards classifications appeared on the screen next the flight options:
A. Economy (lowest award)
B. First Saver Award
C. First Everyday Award
For all of the possible flights (and there were dozens), mileage amounts for both A and C were presented (with A being roughly 1/4 the miles needed for booking compared to C), but B was "unavailable" for all of the flights.
My question--is there any substantive difference (other than the miles required for booking) for the passenger between A and C? For instance, are the same seats available for both classifications? Are than any differences in carry-on baggage privileges between the two classifications? (Etc.) In other words, is there any reason NOT to book a ticket using "Economy Awards" miles?
I checked everywhere on United website and found absolutely no reference explaining what Economy Awards means? (First Saver and First Everyday were described.)
Thanks for any assistance.
