I am having trouble too. The flight search page comes up with the flights but I when I click on a flight the website freezes. Same with chrome and IE.

I have had no problems at all. Run multiple searches for flights to east coast and elsewhere.

Same here - problems all day long - I can't get past the search results page. Very frustrating!

Appears to be working for me as I'm able to get all the way to the payment page on a dummy booking

Thanks goalie, I just tried it again and looks like it's finally working again ^

No searches work for flights on either .com or UA mobile app.

Big warning message on UA.com now. Looks like something bad happened - they couldnt even construct a proper warning message - it repeats itself...

And 10 minutes later they put up this message:

"united.com is currently undergoing maintenance
Flight search and booking are unavailable for all flights, including MileagePlus award travel. We are working to restore these as quickly as possible.Flight search and booking are unavailable for all flights, including MileagePlus award travel.

Pretty sure it's related to this thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...o-dollars.html

...And in the Mileage Run forum. Seems as if united.com was selling almost ALL domestic flights (anything with a 'K' class fare in the market) for $0.00 each way, plus tax...So $10 roundtrip.

Instead of letting more of these squeak through (which I didn't get ), they just pulled the plug on the whole site until it gets fixed.

Lots of mileage run threads on this. Unlikely to be honored, IMO. Lesson learned: Test, Test, and Re-Test before deploying code changes to Production!

I'm not much on conspiracy theories, but
a) September 12?
b) cyber attack?

It's possible.

I'm not able to find any flight options on united.com right now. Says there are no flights regardless of the route.

Flight search and booking are currently undergoing maintenance and are unavailable for all flights on United.com and through United’s reservations line. We will restore these features as quickly as possible.

This happens in the middle of the day? Incompetence.

What's more likely...that, or general UA incompetence / SHARES crappiness? Easy answer IMO

I was just trying to make a reservation from SYD to SFO for February. Keep getting a message that "we were not able to find any available seats meeting your requirements." Shows no flights at all even using flexible dates. There was no message about Web site problems.

Good thing FT is available to find out that something is up with the Web site.
