How risky is this deal?

Greetings everyone, long time lurker, first time poster here so please bear with my newbe-ish questions.

So I bought this deal (CAN-LGW) as the middle segment of a round the world trip.

I'm calling on the "Travel Gods" of this forum: How risky is this deal?

I never heard of Deer Jet or TianJin airlines before. Are those reputable companies?

Will they honour this deal or will I get stuck in the middle of China having to spend hundreds of dollars extra to get back home?

Thanks in advance for your input.

I suggest you to check your booking regularly -- chances are they won't cancel your ticket but if they do at least you know you get refunded and you can plan ahead!

Can anyone explain what the mileage run value to this fare is? I don't see any useful partners to credit these miles to.

Deerjet and Tianjin Airlines are subsidiaries of Hainan Airlines. Deerjet are also China's largest corporate jet operator.

...!

For my booking CAN-CKG-LGW round trip, the Chinese airlines cancelled all but the first leg of my flight!

Now the itinerary became CAN-CKG one way!

I am OK if they don't have to honor a possible error fare and refund the whole damn thing but don't just cancel except one leg!

I need to talk to the OTA I booked for a refund.

How did they let you know, email? Mine is still active, I'm kinda hoping they'll cancel it because positioning is too complicated.

Well Amadeus sent me updated itinery, with the below comment:

IMPORTANTE: HEMOS DETECTADO UNA CANCELACION
DE ALGUNO DE SUS VUELOS POR PARTE DE LA
COMPANIA AEREA EN SU RESERVA.
ROGAMOS CONTACTE LO ANTES POSIBLE CON NOSOTROS
O CON LA COMPANIA AEREA. GRACIAS EDREAMS

And that google translates to:

AIRLINE IN YOUR RESERVATION.
PLEASE CONTACT WITH US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
OR THE AIRLINE. THANK EDREAMS

You can always check your trip by booking number in checkmytrip.com

Just received an email from the airline who told me to refund the original ticket and then rebook any airline on the same date to that destination. Send them screenshot and then difference of the price will be reimbursed.

Have you guys ever seen an airline would really do that? I mean aviation in China could be new... too new... for these guys to find a partner and load me into?

(moderator is this the right place to ask this question, if not, where?)

Also whenever airlines are booking flights for passengers are there always book into Y? I need to know as I am in quite the last month for my mile run - I need a Y for AA 1.0 EQM.

This is crazy, ahah.
I hope they will actually refund you.

What OTA did you book it with?
I am booked for the beginning of Feb.
