Maybe it's me or my PC but i'd appreciate any insight re:

Tip #2 Setting "expert" mode on united.com:

8. Congratulations. You can now see availability by booking code.

I successfully changed my settings to expert but still can't see any booking codes when searching by price OR schedule?


Tip #4 Setting United.com to display fares that qualify:
1. Go to united.com login to your MP account and click on flights (get to "Create itinerary: Shop for flights")
2. enter your from, to and designed dates, 20 flights (more on that later), "search by schedule", 2+ connections, and the MPW124 code. Do NOT enter anything in the upgrade eligibility field.

Is this code still active? Using it brought up INVALID code error message


3. It will show you some flights, but probably not the ones you really want.
Go to the top of the browser in the address bar where it shows the URL it just used. change the air_avail=20 to air_avail=200. This will increase the number of flights it checks and makes the website actually work. Hit enter after adding that one "0" to the URL.

also don't get this type of url (w/ an avail=) so I can't raise the numeric figure displayed?

any help would be much appreciated.

also is there an FAQ thread that goes over rules/options of canceling a non refundable tickets?

for example, if i buy a nonrefundable ticket and later cancel it will i get a FULL refund (to be used w/i the next yr)

Also, after a lot of searching on the UA site I stumbled upon the 24 hr auto refund for any tix bought online, i don't think i knew that before and if it's not already in the FAQ, that info would be helpful to us new UAers.

thx
