United used to be great when they were Continental. Now, IMHO, they suck. We are usually Delta 461 from JFK because they are usually a bit less and I am a Delta AMEX card holder so my bags fly free. This year Jet Blue was less even with paying for bags so JBU 787 it is. The times are almost identical so it became $$

JanBob said: [b]Just looking at prices for our trip next in May. May 5 to June 2, United Economy Plus $2,045.97 for 1 person. Delta 1st Class for 2, $2,127. We have been flying United for 32 years and it looks like time to change. United is getting to be a rip off in many ways <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />[/b] <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/usflag.gif" alt="" /> What airport are you trying to fly out of, those fares look outrageous. We us usually fly from a small regional airport, Grand Junction, DFW, MIA, SXM on AA for about $1200 for first class.

Since they are not that far from EWR I would assume that's their starting point. I originally thought that maybe the prices were high because it was a bit early for booking but when I went back month after month it seemed to be consistently high.
I did compare the my same dates in January that are $457 from BOS against leaving from EWR and United has a $534 R/T N/S both ways...so maybe it's the dates/season that is the issue
