I didn't know that United had a direct ORD-FAT flight. I worked on a project in the fall of 2019 and my only option was a 35-40 minute layover at DEN. After running thru the huge Denver airport a couple times, I decided to fly Southwest direct to San Jose and drive 2 hours to Fresno. That ended up being much more relaxing.
