1. TK's IT is to put it mildly Biiiiiip!
2. Airlines often/always have more inventory available for their own FF so I'd you are on UA's site that could explain it.
3. Try to call but be ready to use half a day with HUCA and potentially a gray hair or two in dealing with the notorious customer "service" 😉
4. Make sure you have all flights at hand so they don't have to look for them. That should better your chances.


​​​​Ohhh and please report back if it is successful, then you truly found the needle in the haystack!
