And of course, despite it being "the most ridiculous thing said on FT today" :rolleyes: all of the options on your screen have Y space on each segment but it is being suppressed by married segment control (presumably to get much higher-yield nonstop Y fares). The one they deign to sell in Y has at least M space on every segment.

But indeed leaving LAS seems to be the bottleneck:

ed. to add, also ITA is in general much better about finding solutions with fare breaks:

Something else to consider is that Southwest announced it was cutting it's June schedule by 6.9% (8250 flights) a little over a week ago due to staffing issues. The cutbacks are likely also impacting availability on other carriers with the diminished capacity on Southwest. People on the United forum are also noting the high fares -- https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...-ua-fares.html

High demand (possibly due to some event) and booking too close in.

Once in awhile, you need to consider other options than DL.

Crazy to think it's this full a month out. I could see it being like this a week or maybe 2 out from departure. Even during CES or any other major event I've never seen this in the 10 years I've lived here and flown DL. AA seems to have plenty of 1 stop options. I don't get it.
