Exciting flight deals to and from Chicago!
Using the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, you can find this fare priced at $269 (Regular Economy). When booking those dates with United, the fare may drop to $179 (Basic Economy) or remain at $269 (Regular Economy).
The $269 fare includes advance seat selection and a standard-sized carry-on.
United’s $179 fare is a Basic Economy option, which doesn’t permit advance seat assignments. Instead, seats will be allocated randomly during check-in. Additionally, a carry-on that cannot fit under the seat incurs a fee of $35 each way + any applicable gate check fees (this fee is waived for holders of a United co-branded credit card or United elite members).
