United Makes Finding Award Seats Easier

Now here's a good idea: A web page from United Airlines that makes it eaiser for frequent flyers to find what city pairs in the near future have award seats available. 

The site just posted today has some attractive destinations, including DC-Miami, Newark-LA & San Francisco, Chicago-Beijing, NY-Tokyo, DC-London, San Francisco-Beijing as well as dozens more.

One of the most-voiced complaints about using miles is that no one knows which routes have seats available. Some major carriers are getting better about posting calanders on their web sites that allow passengers to know what travel days offer better odds of picking up free seats than others.  This new one from United lets you consider city-pair possiblities that may suggest trips you might not otherwise have thought about.
