filter the Basic E fare on United.com

how can I filter the Basic Economy fare as a preference ?

In the photo, when i used flexible day or +-3 days to search a flight on united.com, it usually shows the lowest price within 30 days

. But i want to get 100% PQM, so can i filter the Basic fare when i search the lowest non-Basic E fare ?



Does the google flight baggage preference work ?

The UA phone app has a BE filter.

Also as BE generally tracks the lowest non-BE fare, the lowest BE day is likely to be the lowest non-BE day.

While it is not united.com, Hipmunk allows you to filter out (or in) BE fares.

It's also possible in ITA Matrix. Just put the line F ~BC=N to the Extension Codes field.

That just works for domestic BE (which probably is what the OP was looking at), not TATL BE -- for those doing TATL the wiki of TATL Basic Economy (renamed Dec 2018); all BE to earn 50% PQMs, earn 100% PQDs has the ITA command for avoiding that version of BE.

Thank you.

I just use the google flight baggage preference when i search the flight.

"the lowest BE day is likely to be the lowest non-BE day." yea, i agree, but not always. I basically want to see the lowest non-BE fare, this gives me more days with the same fare while the table may show the ONLY lowest BE fare ($301 in the photo)

Note that this only works for removing domestic BE from results.
