United is offering first-class sale fares available for travel on Saturday. Fares start at $228 one-way or $456 round-trip, and destinations include Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Toronto; and Calgary.
As you might expect, United’s fares were the best available for each the routes I checked. Even better, I found availability for most routes, something that doesn’t always happen when airlines announce very low prices on such short notice. You won’t find a better deal for a first-class seat, particularly on a legacy carrier, so snap up these fares before they’re gone.

One of NBC’s most-hyped new series is the spy comedy “Chuck,” about a computer nerd who accidently views a secret file of documents and in turn, ends up in the middle of spy hijinks.
But there were no spy escapades happening Saturday when the cast and producers of the show held a pre-launch party at Pure. Almost all of the show’s leads (sans Adam Baldwin) and producers McG and Josh Schwartz lived it up on the main stage, near the DJ booth where Colleen Shannon was spinning a mega-mix that kept the dance floor packed.
