Using air miles on United, we buy 1 leg at a time to be able to get the best fare. We got the direct from Chicago about 3 weeks ago for 17.5k air miles ea and today the return was 17.5k ea. The return had been 40k for the longest time. By splitting the legs, able to get the best seats available. The only thing, United is charging $19.00 ea per leg for the better Economy Seats(we paid the price to keep from going past the wings). Now just waiting for the time to pass by.

You forgot to mention the $77 fees and taxes. But, still a good deal.

Using United air miles, we got our direct flight from Chicago abot 2 months o about 2 weeks ago. We just got our direct flight back to Chicago for Feb 8th. The return tickets normally become available about 10 months before flight. We always buy the leg that is 17.5k ea first then wait till the next leg goes on sale. For our trip down this year, the return went on sale first and was about 2 months later before being able to get the flight down. They always have 40k ea available- here both fly for 35k if you monitor the flights.Sure beats flying through Houston. Different times we got to the gate to Chicago and the flight was loading and you don't have put anything in your luggage for the flight to Chicago because of going through security.
9 months can't come soon enough.

To get the best price, you have to check the site all the time to get the best deal especially using air miles- that's why we do 1 leg at a time and being able to select better seats..
