What's the return date?

Have you click on the economy column to sort by price?

Have you set any fliters?

Which country setting are your using for ua.com?

This fits the stale / out-of-sync data issue, it seems when it fails, some change is in progress.

Best I see for the dates is $1,028 RT

Picking the cheapest legs is not always the best strategy -- there can be fare combinability issues.

Prices shown but no fares at that price

Hi
I am trying to book some flights on United. In the top it shows the fares for each day but when I click on that day there are no fares at that price (just more expensive ones). Anybody know how to show the fares?

Thanks in advance

Click on the fare column header to sort prices (high-to-low, low-to-high) -- the initial UA sort is by a combination of min connections, and min travel time and some convenience factor. Never assume it is initially sorted by price

You can also click on the fares list by day and it will bring those to the top
