AV561, not UA561. Either way, glad the link I shared helped.

Is the URL the same when you do a search directly and get the "bad" results?

Old site not even working properly today!

Straight back to old site for me. Now Smisek has gone I am sure they said "right, back to the old site and no more rushing".

Rushing? LOL....

It took 5 years to get to this point.

I liked the new site because it let me filter out stupid INTL connections of 40 minutes. The old site not changing to return date to at least the day after the depart day was always fun when months lined up for dates and you didn't realize it.

New site is back up for me! Hooray!

With Y Saver and Y Standard combined in to one column, I noticed this pop up today:
New Saver & Standard Awards

We've combined Saver and Standard Awards into one column to provide you with the lowest price available. Select the column header to sort your results.
If saver was available, it was shown. Otherwise, the 'lowest' price was a standard award.

Side note: Great UA award availability and pricing for an upcoming trip I am booking for someone else!

small airport - EWR - HAM: 30,000 miles
AMS-ORD-small airport: 30,000 miles

Outstanding.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already. I got the new site for the first time today. Was checking flight status (1119) with the new widget, and noticed that the arrival time didn't match the "X number of minutes early" message displayed. I clicked on the message, which took me to the old flight status page, and the arrival time there was different than on the main page. All of the other info was the same, and it wasn't a different date or anything. It was only a minute off, but still--shouldn't it be reading the same info?

I checked another flight, just for kicks (598), and that one also differed by a minute on the arrival time--but in the other direction. So it's not even a systemic problem, where everything lost a minute on the new page.

Now I'm curious, and need to poke around more.

Using the new site today for the first time. It is cluttered!

I really don't like having to click the details widget to see the connection information including layover city/time.

I know UNITED worked hard on this, but... DL makes it much easier to see all the information.

I am wondering. What the heck is "23:04 p.m"??? They surely didn't use the sharpest knives in the drawer when developing the new site:confused:

"New" website is back
 
After an OLCI via the old site, the new homepage is back. Let's hope it goes smoother this time around.

Back-end processing (searches, log-in---anything that gets the cycling lines or rotating plane/bed/car) seems to be faster now. This is for both the old and new site. Is it just me?

Award search anomaly - one search day in blue, but no flights appear
 
I always liked the award search function on united.com

But the new site appears to have a bug - has anyone else noticed this?

I search for a desired route, and i prefer to travel intl on business saver (SAVER AWARD PREMIUM CABIN)

one day in january is coming up shaded blue which indicates there is a business saver award with some routing on that day.

But no flights appear with that award level

For example, one-way LAX-CDG on Dec 25. The day is shaded in BLUE, but every flight in the results page for FIRST or BUSINESS SAVER says "NOT AVAILABLE"

AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG

stellarlight Sep 14, 2015 11:08 am

Likely a system glitch. This happened to my search from time to time. I've also seen the opposite: dates shaded in yellow with premium cabin saver awards actually available on the result page.
