How to book a CO routing on united.com?
The flights I'm trying to book are:
March 15
OKC-IAH-PNS
(CO 2155/2434)
March 17
GPT-IAH-OKC
(CO 2467/1704)
Total cost on continental.com: $427.30.
I know I can accrue MP miles on this flight, but I also have the Mileage Plus Chase credit card and it gives me extra miles for booking on united.com. I can find the individual segments on united.com but I can't book this trip with the segments I want. How can I do this without paying $3000 worth of individual segments?

For the most part, you will only be able to book codeshare flights (UA marketed/CO operated) and not native CO flight numbers on united.com. As such there is no guarantee the price will be the same as co.com.
United.com is not a "general" booking site.

What's frustrating is that it will let you see and select those flights, but not actually book them (or tell you what price they'd be). If they're not going to let you book a non-codeshare non-UA flight, why show them?

Thanks for all your expertise. I'm starting to think that the OKC-IAH segment isn't showing up on ua.com because it has been oversold as I cannot select seats on co.com.
