Now do the same search looking for 3 seats on the same flight. All those numbers change to 3. What is going on? Previously, results didn't change based on the number of seats being searched.
There was an extensive thread on this recently. It's not anything to do with Expert Mode; it's some sort of weird byproduct of a new continuous pricing scheme UA is working on. The values that change based on the search are essentially phantom. Of course, this makes Expert Mode much less useful...
