UA dropped JFK as a focus city over a decade ago. I doubt it's coming back. (More notably than JFK-ORD was their JFK-NRT/HKG/etc. services.)

JFK-IAD almost all connecting traffic (although I have seen segment warrior 1Ks on JFK-IAD... why they don't take Acela or fly LGA-DCA is beyond me). JFK-LAX/SFO is able to command a large volume of premium traffic.

Since the fare is gone and now it's in discussion, anyone have any suggestions on where to stay? I figure Priceline has the best deals, but there are SO MANY 4* hotels in the 2 zones by the loop/river/downtown.

Amazing to think the flat rate taxi fare from JFK to midtown is 1.5x the fare.

Sorry for the delay, however I was able to execute all three itineraries after placing them on Fare Lock on the United site.

The fare is obviously LONG GONE, but my wife and I are looking forward to getting back to NYC three times this Fall for less than $65 pp ai per trip. Thanks to OP!
