Is there a reason for this? Am I better off waiting until 2020 to book this itin (i.e. will prices come back down to $1300 closer in)?
How many days are you staying in Japan. There are no cheap UA fares as others have posted but the of those fare posted the least expensive (V) require a 3 day stay
Hopefully UA will publish lower mid-level fares (W) in the future. Seem to be the report of an L fare up thread but it will likely have a min stay requirement also.
Have you checked the fare rules?
Probably not the issue, no discount fares are published for thi route / timeframe
Hard to read the fare rules for an unpublished fare.
