The key, as always, is extreme flexibility — I was searching nearly every UA flight over the pond. I’ll do the same thing next year. If I can’t fly up front, I won’t go. However, UA remains the lowest-cost carrier for me domestically — where F is rarely worth paying for — due to free E+.
Would be nice if you could simply find open space in one click, regardless of dates (or can you?).
Say for example, show me all ABC-XYZ with PZ>0 during a range of 90, 120, 150 days....
And in regards to the other ongoing conversation on this thread - yes, rewards aren't getting better, but I'm holding out hope that less elite flyers, and PP expiring means chances of upgrades improve... might be a pipe dream but we'll see...

A mere six years ago they were competing... Back then Polaris was a product I looked forward to, versus apathy today.
