prestonh Posted a more reasonable (apples to apples) price comparison. Also he just showed OWs.
> Not sure what or how Southwest does it, but with United, with their new no change fee rule. I've changed flights multiple times when prices drop and have a bunch of travel credits for the price drop.
WN for a long time has operated on the model that the ticket was a flexible, but non-refundable ticket. At the moment UA and WN are the same in that reguard. (They've gotten a bit stricter on who gets SDCs)
Good for you if bags matter. Like I said couple threads above. Most of us who fly United don't pay for bags since its waived via CC or elite status.

Why oneway? One generally needs to come back home?
