UA award bookings (to tokyo & elsewhere), phantom lower mileage options
Does anyone know why the weekly results bar is showing 35K but it’s 55K on each of those days. I’m fully prepared to dump 55k but was curious if someone knows if there is a way to access the 35k.

Do a re-search, does it still appear? You are trying to search goes to the begin of schedule and inventory can be influx.

Maybe less than 4 seats available at 35k each? What does search for single traveler yield? You might have to break reservation to match # of available 35lk awards if that is case.

you need to expand at the bottom 'show all flights' ... then sort again. The top box shows the cheapest flight (but the results below are often limited to the first 35).
35 seems wrong though for US-TYO ...
There is a master thread for award tickets Q&A ...

The 35k in the weekly preview doesn't show up for me on desktop. Maybe it's an app exclusive feature.

Thanks, I’m on there a lot as well and never quite seen this iteration of ghost awards. Maybe an end of schedule type issue like someone else suggested.

Unable to replicate in the app? I can’t get near a computer for the next week but others were saying they were unable to on the computer.
Also, I shoulda mentioned earlier but I have United CC attached to this account for better rewards. Who knows…

Is that the case? I've seen this behavior from the app before, but never bother to create a thread and ask.
