I am guessing UA is restricting supply to keep planes full and fares up. They would rather leave planes parked on the taxiways at IAH. Since I do not have to worry about status, guess who is going to fly WN.
I want to fly home early tomorrow. UA has Y=0 and J=1 for $859. WN has several flights for me to chose from at $129.
