Missing flights on United.com?
 
What happened to the nonstop flights 9/3/06 SFO->LIH? They are in United's PDF timetable and also appear on Kayak but try to book them on United.com -- they suddenly aren't coming up in any searches. :confused:

Is this an anomaly that has been seen before? I've been doing the same search for weeks and all of a sudden the flights aren't even there.

I just checked United.com and I see both:
UA63 910am 1206pm
UA65 435pm 731pm

using both the search by price and schedule options

One of the quirks of ual.com...

If your search is for Y class, and Y is sold out on a particular flight, that flight won't show up at all. Perhaps this is the case here.

I see both flights too...

Still having problem--More Details
 
Thanks for the responses. I am still having the problem so let me post a few more details.

If I use their "Easy Schedule Online" (on the timetables page) and search for nonstop flights SFO>LIH on September 3, I see 2 flights:
UA63 departs SFO @ 9:10am
UA65 departs SFO @ 1:10pm

So I go over to Planning Travel, Create itinerary, and try to create even a single ticket one way itinerary for the same date. Here is what comes up.
UA63, departs SFO @ 9:10am
UA65, departs SFO @ 4:35pm ?!

Up until just the other day the departures were at 9:10 and 1:10. That seemed to match what was in the PDF timetable. So I am just questioning why the itinerary builder part of their site suddenly says 65 leaves at 4:35 pm -- which doesn't match the timetable on the other part of their site. :confused:

Thanks for any help. I have had my eyes on a 4-leg itinerary including this flight for some time now and was just waiting for the price to do something interesting so I could buy. But now I'm concerned that the flight I wanted is gone and/or being monkeyed with.

Talked to .com web site tech support and they say the timetable tool is not necessarily updated at the same time as the reservation/itinerary creation side of things, so, there could be a lag. *shrug*
