United is attacking Delta hubs with a very good fare to Vancouver. Fares to Canada are actually very expensive due to high Canadian taxes. Anything close to $300 for basically transcontinental or mid-continental flight is a very good deal. Much thanks to our twitter follower KeithHVan for the heads up.

Update 8/7/2013 @ 12:45AM Eastern – fare gone.

Update 8/7/2013 @ 5:00AM Eastern – fare is back. New price is about $20 more. Still a good deal.
