Just have them transfer you to Web support. They will take care of it.

I have PVD-ORD-SAN on hold, for $148 at ual.com since I have $100 discount certificate.

Tomorrow I will go to BOS airport to get this ticketed.

With this $48 cross country fare, will I get a dirty look from BOS UA agents?

30 mins on hold and I got my on-hold ticket. The agent said that the fare had doubled in price from $150 to $300. How what to do with the other 3 on hold reservations.

I can still make all kinds of fun MRs on ITA, with eqm cpm < 2.25... and not a one of them is priceable on Expedia or ua.com. Dammit.

More often than not, on special deals even better than this -- like $99-$120 all-inclusive for US-Europe roundtrip or $177-$185 for Europe-China roundtrip in business or c. $220-$240 for India-LHR-India in business -- there's been nothing negative involved at all. Usually inquires about how I found out about such a great deal .... if even that.

Well as I posted earlier Orbitz did something screwy with my res and UA Reservations is dumbfounded.

Ticket Fare Basis: SPR21ZAN
Booking Class: G

Called orbitz and they were clueless at the call center. I later called UA and they were dumbfounded as to what orbitz did. UA Res and the service director say Orbitz forced the booking into G even though the fare basis is S.

Guess I'll have to call later when I have more time. In short if you booked on other sites I would check your booking classes once it's showing up in my itineraries on united.com

"Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think we broke it.
