How to find a cheap ticket on UA

[md]

I have an unused $2400 ticket with UA, they will only allow me to rebook a ticket ($250 fee) in my name. However I can purchase a ticket for myself & any leftover $ will be issued to me as a voucher for purchase of anyones tickets. I therefore want to buy the cheapest possible ticket from/to anywhere (not to use) so that I can get the voucher. Any ideas how to find the cheapest ticket? TIA

 If it was me Id look for the cheapest Full fare 1 way tkt , so that I could use the value of that tkt on another flight as well

 dont know of any city pair off hand but try doing asearch on the UA Forum on www.flyertalk.com Im sure its been discussed at sometme on there.

 Off the top of my head Id be looking at something out West LAX-LAS or LAX-SFO any place where Southwest flys also = $39-49 fares 1 way

Great advise,thanks. If I cancel a full fare, is the credit issued in a voucher? If yes, can I combine to vouchers when booking tickets?

 whenever a person CXs a res the refund goes back to whatever form of payment was made at the time of purchase. (so if I use my Chase CO CC to purchasea tkt and later CX the tkt and I already CXed my Chase CO CC , the refund will still go back to that CC and I will receive a Statement from Chase showing a Credit in my favor, Id then have to call them and ask that a check be cut and sent to me)

 as to if U can combine 2 certs I dont know I never ran into that but most Carriers have a 1 cert policy per PNR unless more then 1 cert was issued and it states they are combinable. Online its 1 per res so youd probably ahve to call up and that probably will incur some type of afee for having the Agent book it for you.

Book a refundable CLE-ORD one-way flight for $137+ on 11/17.
You may be able to get a voucher with that or at least you can use it in your name for a future flight.
Or just book LAX-SFO on 09/15 for $49+ nonrefundable and throw it away.
