Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

Note that others have reported issues with their itineraries after SDCing. If an agent helps you SDC, I would assume they would clean up the record; if you use the website or app (which you won't be able to do due to the 24-hour rule), you risk having issues with the PNR and ticket not matching and causing problems.

Just boarded my flight booked on wideroe: EWR-FRA-VCE
No issues to report. Checked my bags all the way through, got my FRA-VCE LH boarding pass as well.
My friend booked EWR-BCN for tomorrow. She tried to change it to today due to the incoming weather. The agent wanted to charge a $1100 fare difference. I thought that was also waived with the special weather statement issues by United. Didn't get full details on whether it was a different carrier with a united flight number or something. Just a heads up before others attempt weather related flight changes.
Safe trip to everyone!

If your UA EWR-ARN flight has issues on the day of flight, it's UA's problem. And I'm sure you can request to be moved to the SK flight.

My flight to EWR was cancelled due to the weather (but not EWR-LIS), so I tried rebooking through United. They told me (after about a grand total of 100 minutes on hold) that "this carrier is not authorized to write tickets for United", that this was an "unauthorized use of ticket stock," and cancelled my tickets (united.com now reads ! Your itinerary cannot be retrieved because it has been canceled. You may use the remaining value of your ticket toward a new flight by selecting the "Change Flight" link below. A change fee may apply.). What in the world?
?? Currently talking to wideroe about it.
EDIT: Wideroe's web support team quickly rebooked me. It's the same confirmation number. I'm heading to sleep.

Looking for thoughts.
I was suppose to fly YYZ-EWR-ARN today. I checked in yesterday and printed boarding passes. The YYZ-EWR flight is now cancelled and I'm rescheduled for tomorrow in the system. I would prefer to fly today. If I go to YYZ in person is there any chance united will protect me on an AC/LH direct flight to a european gateway then connect to ARN?

You might have luck routing through ORD on SK as well, but it can't hurt to head to the airport provided it's not a huge inconvenience.

My EWR-MUC is still showing on time for today. The plan arrived yesterday so maybe that helps. It looks like they are planning/hoping to let flights go during the late afternoon-early evening. Hope the weather cooperates.
It is now 2 hours later and we have about 10" of snow about 35 mins west of airport. My flight is still not canceled. UA will not change the ticket unless the flight gets canceled. I asked them to put some kind of note in the record OK'ing flight changes so that when I contact Wideroe they maybe will rebook me on tomorrow's flight. They were not cooperative last time.

When I talked to AC yesterday, they wouldn't put me on other metal, but they switched my AC flight from LGA to DCA (i'm based here in Washington)...so, if you were on AC metal down from Toronto, i'm guessing AC would put you on a direct flight to Europe, but if you were on UA, try calling them, and if they don't budge, call back - some reports from UA here are promising!

FINALLY UA took control of my ticket and rebooked me on tomorrow's non-stop EWR-MXP. And not only that, she grabbed the last 2 seats for me, which were business-first, since I had upgraded with copay + miles. I'm very happy with this resolution especially since it was agonizing to get there. Now to change hotels and everything else. And get the snow shoveled.

Weather in Milan today was sunny and gorgeous. Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain more or less nonstop for the next two or three days.

I'm having a great time here in Milan. My girlfriend and I checked in very early for our 13:10 LGA-YUL flight and got put on standby for a 10:00 which we made and were moved up to E+ (which is nice when you're 6'4"!). Our YUL-FRA was nearly empty so we both grabbed a middle row and slept. Here's hoping to more two days of good weather.
