There also seemed to be more than the usual # of UA e-fares this weekend and next, and the prices were lower than usual. I, too, wonder about discretionary travel being down.

On Sunday, they were clearing all standbys and even calling up "anyone else who wants on the plane," when in the past the flights have been very full (we did go out nearly full on both flights, but from the amount of standbys they cleared, I bet the later flights were ghost ships)
