Any special time that United updates award flights?
You really have to keep on checking, just yesterday I was searching for a flight, the time I went to book it wasn't available anymore, checked today again and it was back.
#1 they could release more.
#2 people cancel their reservation.

Wow. Looks like UA dynamic pricing is here.
That's a 1.7cpm valuation.

This is far from cool. It's the beginning of the end.

How come I can't duplicate that pricing even logged in with a CC account?

Elite accounts get cheaper pricing?

Im sorry guys, my mistake. That price came out only when I did multi destination. Under old united it charged me 12.5 for each leg (didn't try calling united to book) but under the new united it charged 6.3k to lga-ord then another 6.3 from ord-lax.

When does UA tend to open J class availability from EWR-LHR? I looked for the next 3 months and I don't see anything.

UA J to LHR is usually pretty open. They've really tightened up recently but I wouldn't expect that to last.

Hope so, I know it used to be wide open but decided to check last night and couldn't find one flight in J near or far out!
