United Offers A Chance at Oz for $389 Round-Trip, So They Say

Alright now this Down Under War is just making us mad. The other day, Qantas was in its final stages of offering round-trips from either Los Angeles or San Francisco to Sydney or Melbourne for the bargain price of $530. Today, we learn United has gone even lower.

A roundtrip from either LA or SF to Sydney will only set you back $389. Yes, $389 round-trip. If you want to splurge for business, it's only $2,229.

There aren't many restrictions except that the outbound trip to Sydney (or Melbourne) must be no later than September 21. Oh, and the fact that we weren't able to come up with a $389 ticket at all. We did various searches on various days in various months and the lowest and oft-repeated price was about $901 round-trip. Not a very good showing for United in the Down Under War.

Also can you imagine flying United for 15 hours? Ugh, and we can totally see our baggage getting lost somewhere on the Lost island. So thanks, but no thanks.
