Yep, so instead of a hub premium with UA, its a *connection* premium at IAH

I pretty much cringe everytime I ask my company to book on UA, as the ticket is almost always more expensive than the CO non-stop, except this last time, but thats because I'm flying mid-week. In any case, UA is the "preferred" carrier for our company, as they negotiated a small discount for all tickets.
