They should add award booking cost as well.

I think they're a/b testing with it.

I got it on one computer, then I didn't get it on another.

+1 for award booking. That would be the most likely use case for me.

Can you search for anything other than Basic Economy?

Ahh, interesting! I just tried the homepage in Incognito mode and the link is not there. Went back to my normal browser and sure enough, it showed up.

  • A/B Testing
    • Yes, were A/B testing a few options to understand what works best for our customers. We would love any and all feedback.
  • Can you search for anything excluding Basic Economy?

Having found UA flights on Google that couldnt be found on ua.com, but Google would let you book on ua.com, why would anyone use ua.com except for MP tix? Google site much more user friendly too!

MapSearch- New website feature

Saw "Map Search" on the website this morning. You input your departure airport and it shows you fares to various cities on a map. Kayak had this a while ago. Found it cool for exploring vacation spots.

Defaults to my home airport OGG (Maui). Looks like "Southwest Effect" is providing good r.t. fares to LAS, SFO, SAN.

United.com Interactive Map Search (Beta)

Just noticed this pop up on the home page. Haven't played around with it much yet, but could be helpful if it works well.
Anyone else seeing it or have any feedback on it yet?
