Novelist with questions re 1995

For a novel I'm writing, I need to know 1995 air fares (within 10%)
domestic USA and international. United AL was helpful when I began;
but something's changed in the intervening years, and though I write
repeatedly to them and they send a form saying they will reply, they
don't. I'll be grateful for direction to any database. Please reply by
email.

I paid £375 for an open-jaw in late August/September 1995. Outward
NCL-LHR-SFO and return SEA-AMS-NCL.

This is tough! United Air Lines, which was v helpful when I began the
novel, is now protected by an impermeable stone wall. No media-
relations department, no number for exec. offices available, no
nothing. (I've tried!) Some other airlines ditto, and the very few
that allow mere peons to contact them, do not respond. Travel agents
don't have data back that far, or don't remember about specific years.
Newspaper archives show old ads, but those are mainly coach fares,
where I need business- and first-class. OK, I give up.

That recommended Web site requires personal information about me which
is irrelevant and which I wouldn't give even if relevant. I'm trying
to *get* information, not give it out. Thanks to all anyway.
