Tried to buy a domestic RT ticket just now on united.com on desktop PC (well for last 1/2 hour when you include starting over, then switching browsers) . Tried both Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Get:Error

Just tried Android App too: "There was a problem completing your reservation"
Finally worked using chrome in incognito mode. This all only took an hour.

I just completed a booking from my Mac using Firefox. No problems.

Having troubles with any SDC on the app or website. It shows me the changed flight options, I pick one and then it says an error occurred and that I have to call in to change. I called in and they were able to change it without problems. However, it's quite annoying the website isn't letting me do my own SDC.
Any other reports of issues like this?
When I am trying to change my flight on United.com as soon as I click select on the flight (I tried any flight, so it's not related to just one) I'm getting the following - is this happening to anyone else?:

Trying to check availability on the direct TLV-SFO flight this coming Sunday (21st). Searched on the website and fails to show this flight completely, and only finds flights with connection. OK, so presumably it's sold out...
Check the day before (20th, when the direct flight isn't actually running), and suddenly it shows me the flight on the 21st :
I'm guessing they've added some logic to make this show on the 20th (as it's leaving slightly after midnight of that day), but in doing so they've stopped it showing up at all on the day it's actually departing.
It's also claiming a "date change" for a flight that leaves on the same day it arrives...

Also, the direct flight is not running this Fri night/Sat morning? Because of Passover? They fly on Yom Kippur. I have never heard of them not running a flight. Interesting.

Sorry. You are correct. I meant Rosh Hashanah. For Passover, it is strange that the SFO flight is not running but the EWR flights are... Actually, looks to be the case for Rosh Hashanah too this year. Last year or the year before, I thought they ran the SFO flight (at least to TLV) because a friend posted a picture of a mostly empty plane (which may be the reason it is not running this year).
