I am desperately trying to find what they loaded out of LGA/EWR/JFK/HPN...but nothing shows up, and the usual suspects all show nothing...someone forgot to connect a database to the live site. :-(

I noticed that the "Hawaii" tab now returns specials for a mid-week trip, basically a one-week trip departing on Tuesday or Wednesday and returning the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Not sure how many people can take advantage of that. I'd rather go to Hawaii.

The efare link is gone from the Deals page. It was there this morning, although it provided no efares for any of the options. Now the entire link is gone.

No e-Fares!
Yesterday there were a couple alerts for some good UA flights over 4th of July weekend. Those are gone today as well as the icon under "Special Deals" for e-fares. E-fares are posted on Tuesday mornings but this week NOTHING.
Only been flying United for about a year but they have been consistant with the Tuesday e-fares. I've even been able to find them without the icon but not this time. I'm sending an email to them, maybe a technical problem and temporary. More experienced UA people: are there weekends when there are no e-fares?

Mid week new item
It seems UA has added a new twist to their E-fares w/Tues/Wed departures and returning week later on Tues/Wed. Thing is, what's to stop a biz traveler from using these combined w/wkend e-fares and throw away unused portions and still come out ahead for lst-min biz trip if that route is cheaper? Some wkend fares allow departures after 7pm on Fridays so it's viable without even hanging around till Sat am to rtrn.

So, has United gotten pretty lazy about posting e-fares lately?

None posted today, Tuesday. Someone must be on annual leave. Either do something right or don't do it at all.

But... but... United is making SO much money! And the planes are FULL! Why should they offer us peons special fares just because the competition does? United is SPECIAL! They NEVER have to do ANYTHING for customers! They don't even NEED customers!

There actually ARE some Efares loaded, just the lookup engine doesn't seem to be connected to anything. I see some to Fargo...horrid fares, but they do come up as EFares with the star and everything...
