SFO to CMH $1000??
Trying to book my flight for late October. Want to stick with united since it's a lot if miles to give up. But it's $1000 vs $355 with us airways
Is it because it's too early?
October 22 is the travel date.
Alternative airports? Can someone help please? Thanks!

You're departing and returning to SFO on October 22? How much time do you need on the ground before coming back?

Could be a different price based on POS.
Make sure you are on the US version of the site, then try re-running the search. Note if you use a card with a German address, it will likely switch back to The German site, and may very well go back to the higher price.

Not sure if this is still the case, but as of a few years ago, some routings required a three-day minimum stay in order to get a cheaper fare. Just like what the OP may be seeing, fares used to be around $350 on US regardless of length of stay, whereas fares on UA were $1000 for stays shorter than 3 days.

What you are seeing is the cost savings by moving CMH to Envoy Above & Below the wing ops.
1000 RT SFO-CMH is what I pay when I am inside 7 day advanced purchase. Your price should be around 450.
