United Starting Fare War!!!
In the 8pm domestic feed United cut 16,000 fares by $50-800 below the current market lows.
The cheapest fares Tue/Wed and a bit more expensive on the other days.
Inventory is wide open.
14 Day fares, travel thru Mid November.
These are not wonderful MR's because of 2 day min-stay, but in the 10am morning feed there will be some serious retaliation and matching...
Will hit online purchasing sites after Midnight EST.

Reduced $1411
If you are lucky enough to live in Crescent City CA (CEC) and want to fly to Great Falls MT (GTF} the savings is $1411. It's still $238 or 0.16 ppm so perhaps it's just a readjustment to reality.
Anyone find a good MR??

Fares have hit the united website
If you do queries for example DFW-DRO it shows a little icon with fare sale popup.
Honestly the cheapest of these is 5 cents PPM. With some clever routings you might be able to make them into an MR only if you had plan to travel and spend some days. With 2 day Min stay it makes them of dubious pure MR value.
More interesting will be the retaliation and matching in the 10am EST feed in the morning.
