The $460 is the Regular Economy fare with advance seat assignment and normal size carry-on
United also has a $330 fare but that is a Basic Economy fare. United Basic Economy fares do not allow for any advance seat assignments. Rather, your seat assignment will be randomly assigned during check-in. In addition, normal size carry-on that does not fit under the seat is charged a $50 fee each way + applicable gate check fees (but free if you have an United co-branded credit card or if you have United elite status). In addition, it does not allow for mileage earning unless you have a United co-branded credit card or elite status
