Which dates are you looking at and which class? This usually happens to me when the UA codeshare is sold out (even if the underlying LH flight numbers have availability).

Yup, I'm seeing it as well, on both Mac OS X and the iPad. Frustrating.

Jeez. Testing your website on all the major browsers (Mac/Windows; IE/Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari)and platforms is standard operating procedure these days -- or at least it should be.

Yep, if you widen the window enough, it will jump to a side bar that is actually usable.

The clicking on different dates thing still doesnt work. It shows a price, but when I click on the date it gives an error. I must do another search.

Weather waiver information and airport information buried on UA website now?
 
Hi All,

As I was recently concerned about EWR as someone had posted questioning if the airport was closed because of icy conditions......

I went to the UA website to get information and see if any travel waivers had posted.

This link used to be prominently displayed in the top right of the homepage.

It is not there now. I went to check the travel information tab at the top of the homepage. Nothing there. It will give you a link to a weather report by airport.

Why do you think UA removed this prominently displayed link and how in the heck do I find this information in the future?

Thanks for feedback. Happy flying.

It's near the bottom of the home page where there's a darker band of blue that's approximately 0.5" high. It has 3 links: About United, Products & Services, and Important Notices. You want to click on "Important Notices"
which will take you to the page you're looking for. I've included the link above. I'm not sure why they moved it as I agree that it's not as prominent as it used to be.

It wasn't prominent but I found this page after maybe ninety seconds of poking around.

Planned upgauge or bug? Three seats were already assigned, too. Seems like a recipe for oversale disaster unless they're swapping in a 320/738. Given it's I9 something tells me they didn't intend this. VDB party for F? :p

A 319 with (now) 4 out of 8 seats in F assigned, not blocked. I've found a few other 319s on that route with the same issue. Given the fact it's I9, I'm strongly inclined to say someone made a mistake with inventory. Date is 11 March.

yeah, that's really great. That'll be an expensive mistake for UA. They even have this for several dates. Nice ...

Yet again simple fare searches return "Not available" results.

Check SEA-EWR-xxx (South America) by trying SEA-xxx. All business class flights show "Not Available". But there's wide open availability on both flights I need. This is not the first time I've seen this.

Search it via multi-city (SEA-EWR/EWR-xxx) and viola, business class fares appear! (And, yes, business class is available as a through/married segment itinerary as confirmed by EF).

Tired of having to search fifteen different ways just to book a ticket.

Case in point - the ticket I booked 5 minutes ago. SEA-MEX via IAH. Searching SEA-MEX yielded a flight via IAH that is $100 more than all other business fares but it's the flights I wanted. Do a multi-city search and pick SEA-IAH and IAH-MEX (flights I want) and that prices at the lower fare no problem. Booked and ticketed but this is wasting my time.

And not to mention the "recent searches" drop down on the home page is completely broken. So nice of UA to remind us what our searches are but completely useless of the website to do nothing with that data. Click on any of the recent searches and nothing happens other than the drop box disappearing. Your old search criteria is still there - not the recent search you just clicked on. Submitted via feedback.

I use the latest version of Chrome.

My guess is they plan on up-gauging the equipment. But this is NOT a problem w/ the website - EF shows the exact same data.

I've experienced the same. The 'recent searches' thing just plain does n:mad:t work. I'm glad to hear that it's not just me. I'm using Firefox BTW.

New one for me now. None of the stupid tiles on the front page are "clickable" to me on Firefox. ie click the MileagePlus box and nothing expands anymore. Same with my trips, flight status, etc.

Works with IE.

I am tired of submitting feedback on this POS.

More errors than any other site I use. It's unreal.

Who's going to start the campaign to bring back the previous UA.com? Or at least maintain support for it at ual.com like they did for a period of time.
