As of Oct. 26, 2015 it no longer seems possible to access the old version of the website.

The font keeps getting smaller, especially 'Current Reservations'. Must be the smallest size possible!

The lowest price available for this flight is an A fare. Why would there be different prices displayed in the two columns? Is this a website error, or is there another difference between the two selections?

PQD is the same between them, must be something in taxes/fees...

Think there are many permutations of an A fare (corresponding to different sets of restrictions and capacity controls), so not surprising that both exist for the same trip.

Bizarre. Same flight now only displays under "First (lowest)" for $1,010 but the same $927 in PQD. Fare basis is HAA00UPY 907.91 with an $18.60 surcharge which counts toward PQD. Normally there are a lot of fares which book into A, but there are a lot fewer of them if the flight is Y0. Not sure how the website would construe the same fare with different taxes and fees (seems like US includes tax on Q).

ITA constructs as:

Code:
SFO UA CLE Q18.60 907.91HAA00UPY USD 926.51 END ZP SFO XT 69.49US 4.00ZP 5.60AY 4.50XF SFO4.50

Annoying issue on the new UA.com

When searching for travel on specific dates, if a different date is cheaper, that fare gets put at the top. For example, trying to book IAH-DXB RT 12/2-12/12. 12/13 is cheaper so it appears at the top. I just accidentally booked it, thinking it was 12/12.

Been noticing that too. Have to be real careful on pointer position to get the right link.

Only 2 GPUs?

Was cruising around and on mystatus.united.com it shows 2 RPUs + 2 GPUs for 1K. I have to wonder if this is just another typo or signs of things to come.

+2 GPUs @ 100K? That is pretty strange. No idea why I'm in such an optimistic mood but my tinfoil hat says they are taking the allocation from 6 to 2 and dropping the W restriction.

I think it is just a typo/laziness. I don't even see 100k miles one when I look any more it just alternates between +2GPU/+2RPU and just +2RPU for each 25k over.

Doesn't matter, I have not been able to use any this year anyway, apart from 1 RPU out of about 16 flights with them.

But, we are all wrong about the website because they say:

"Looks new, books new...friendly......Clear, customizable search options to make booking easy on the new united.com"

So, that's that then. This thread can be closed.

At least right now/this week it's a typo... I just crossed the line for 1K on Saturday and got slightly alarmed when I saw that ([well, based on my 99.9% domestic travel pattern getting any kind of real value out of the GPUs is fairly remote]) but 6 GPUs+2 RPUs were deposited within a couple days.

It's on the home page for mystatus.united.com after I login with my MP credentials.

Same here, 6 GPUs and 2 RPUs were deposited when I crossed 1K in Oct. Guess we'll see when they make the next big MP program announcement.
