orval. Welcome to FT. My answer is that I have no idea. Others may, but AFAIK the inventory they draw from is identical, and both are allegedly "real time". Beware, as I posted a few weeks ago, that ANY flight OZ-USA priced via ual.com will generally be FAR far higher in AUD than same days requested via UA oz site. Your example bears this out once again

Here is a tip from a local. December is getting into high season here. Do you know at that time you can fly MEL-EZE/SCL/MVD for less than the UAL.com figure? AND in 'H' class that allows points upgrades if you have no SWU? Another 15,000 status miles of course if you do as well, for often LESS dollars than a USA destination.
