Just had to check November curiosity was gonna kill me.
United - I can get 550 basic or 593 Round trip ORD-STT. Outbound out of ORD is non stop which is nice. I will pay more for that.
American- 563.00 R/T - looks like they added a non stop on the outbound. That is new!
Neither of those prices are horrible. I usually use miles for one leg of the trip.
If I did my normal trip:
ORD- STT is 228.00
EIS to ORD - usually use miles on either AA or United ~ did not see availability for those.
Almost too early to tell but I am being hopeful!
