FLYER BEWARE

I purchased three airlines tickets from united.com for travel from Boise, Idaho to Kansas City, Missouri next month for myself and my elderly parents. The cost was $331.40 each. The purchase was made on August 2nd (Sunday). The next day I found that the price had gone down to $240.60. I called United's costumer service line and they refused to honor the lower price. I lost over $210 simply because I bought the tickets on the wrong day! I feel that their policy is unfair and should have a price guarantee.

You completed the purchase - thereby agreeing to the terms and conditions at that time - which is a minimum implied that the price was acceptable to you. Airline seat inventory and complex formulas drive what a ticket price is at any given time and can change in hours. Stop complaining - take your flight - and expect that half the people in first class probably paid less than you too - and they are enjoying a little more room and services...
