Haha! We may have been searching on different days, too. But yeah, I bet the United website is seeing some traffic with this itinerary.

ITA also had a 20% off code yesterday that was working for the new flight. It's gone now, but it was called something like "Travel Tuesday", so maybe it's a recurring promotion. Or is the Tuesday after Black Friday now called "Travel Tuesday"?

yeah, I just picked some random days in June.

Looks like they only fly out certain days of the week (or haven't released their full schedule yet).

The Tuesday after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday is Travel Tuesday. I wasn't really looking, but didn't see any huge deals.

That explains the 20% discount code on the ITA website. It was valid and working yesterday, but it's gone now.

Still bodes well, though, as when was the last time you saw United offering a discount code of any kind.

We just did a vacation to Italy and Greece over Thanksgiving (left Nov 19 and came back Dec 1). Too bad we didn't have this flight.

United/Luft from IAH to Frank to Rome...travel back was Aegean/United from Athens to Mun to IAH. Munich airport is huge! 11 hours from there to IAH was a long flight.

That MUC to IAH flight is not my favorite. It used to be on a 767, which was absolutely miserable. Most uncomfortable airplane seats I've ever sat in. The upgrade to the 777 was an improvement.

I flew iah to Florence last month and think I found routing with better pricing on the Star Alliance booking website. Maybe I missed a few page downs on the United website, but I found a partial business class ticket (all business except economy on Frankfurt to London) with one additional connection on the return that was $4000 cheaper than what I found on United. Of course my bag didn't make the connection in Frankfurt both ways due to a tight connection, but all worked out in the end.
