iad/dca-lax fare and booking question
Is there a reason that certain flight combos from dca-lax via ewr won't price on the website in anything but basic economy? For example, on June 19, UA3436 connecting to UA751 shows "not available" for any fare bucket other than basic economy, even though 751 clearly has all classes available (for example, if I try to make the reservation through iad rather than dca, first class is clearly available) and 3436 can be booked separately in any class (BE, regular or flexible economy, first). Is the only option to book the segments separately using advanced search? Or do i have a setting wrong somewhere? Thanks!

Well, that certainly seems to be correct if I try to book a one-way fare -- then all options, including regular economy and first are available. The minute I switch to roundtrip (trying to take a redeye back on 6/20), the system will only offer the BE fare. I may well misunderstand the rules, but that seems like a very odd result.
