Great airfare deal to/from Miami!
According to the Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, the fare is priced at $279 (Regular Economy). If you use those dates on United, it should be priced at $179 (Basic Economy) and $279 (Regular Economy).
The $279 fare includes Regular Economy benefits such as advance seat selection and a standard carry-on bag.
While United’s $179 fare offers a Basic Economy option, it comes with some restrictions. Basic Economy tickets do not permit advance seat assignments—your seat will be assigned at random during check-in. Additionally, a normal-sized carry-on that doesn’t fit under the seat incurs a $35 fee each way + any applicable gate check fees (however, these fees may be waived if you hold a United co-branded credit card or have elite status with United).
