I don't recall a IAH-YMM flight but UA did fly DEN-YMM in 2013-2014ish

While my co-workers and friends can't compete with my airline jargon that sequence of numbers and letters has me entirely lost.

For those interested. By the time I booked the ticket this morning the pricing differential had become even greater. The one-way was $1360 CAD and the multi-city was $763 CAD. All fares were booked in W save for the AC portion. Interestingly, this routing has two jets that, I expect, will increasingly get more rare. That is the 753 and the CR2.
