Yep, when I try to book via united.com, it lets me go all the way to the booking, and once I click complete payment, then I get the error message. Seems really strange to me. But the agent said that they could not price out those flights on their end.

(obviously OTA isn't as good as booking direct)
Yes to both. I also got it to show up through skycanner and Expedia. I tried booking through Expedia as well, but it came back with a "your fare has changed" message.

Is there any way around that, or is that just an error on the side of google flights?
