I just booked a 110 miles long, domestic, return flight with UA that is operated by Skywest. The flight numbers are contained in the list posted by PVDtoDEL, so I'll earn a total of 1000 miles. The interesting thing is that my reservation, before including my M&B number, said: "MileagePlus Members: Upon completion of this itinerary, you will earn up to 220 award miles." It is nice to see that as an A3 frequent flyer you earn more than as a United one.

Got my miles for the "Skywest" flights, also used the lounge at LAX without even getting a single question asked, but have yet to get credit for the domestic A3 flights to/from ATH connecting to my TATL flights. But as I "know" the reason, I don't really care, I'll submit a request on-line when the 14 days are through.

Dragging this up from the dead, but I searched the forum for posts including "united + minimum" and didn't see it anywhere else.
Aegean is no longer offering ANY minimum miles on UA flights after March 1, 2015. There are still modest minimums on AC though.
Previously I had been booking even domestic Canadian flights through UA for the minimum 500 vs the minimum 125 with AC. Not anymore!

-AC had a different set of minimums - say 125 miles for intra-canada flights
-UA did not. So UA flight xxxx that is really AC yyyy was subject to the 500 minimum rule (regardless of how the fare mapped to UA), not AC's 125.

Right, but (this is previously before the change)
