I know Houston is the merchant account they use for charging web reservations, but they could use a different account for other types of purchases. Do these in-flight purchases also post from the same merchant "UNITED AIRLINES HOUSTON TX"? I never venture behind the curtain, so I'm ignorant about this, but I've seen different merchant accounts for other types of purchases from UA.
