UNITED SLASHES SOME FARES: United Airlines cut some fares sharply for flights involving its two biggest hub markets in hopes of attracting more business travelers. United said it cut coach fares with no advance purchase for direct flights to and from Chicago and Denver, as well as markets reached through connecting service, by as much as 40 percent. Fares on tickets purchased seven days in advance for the same flights are being cut as much as 70 percent. Analysts say American and Continental largely matched the lower business fares.
