IMHO, yes..tickets were sold for the normal fare/rate.
BTW:
Since most everyone will be connecting in Toronto, perhaps we could coordinate a party, with the mayor.

What better option is there if you are originating from the US and want to go to Europe? There are few to none, especially using easily accumulated miles with no fuel surcharges.

Booked 8 F TATL one ways . Still 200K miles to burn. But it was a relief that the devaluation will leave me much less unscathed.

Is anyone still finding F availability for YYZ-MUC? I'm not seeing it anymore today! (I should have booked when I had the chance last night...)

Unfortunately, numerous individuals made speculative bookings, which will eventually be returned to inventory when these people decide they don't need multiple trips to MUC. By then, of course, those seats won't be available for UA Saver Awards.

I learned my lesson to never wait until "later" to book a good deal.
I was working last night so was able to jump on it.
I got 2 seats MUC-YYZ next summer - will probably be the last time my wife and I will ever get to experience LH F.
I was able to "Smizek" United one last time.
Thanks for the memories....and the dogs thank you for the duckies!

Yes that itinerary is kosher. You currently have a stopover in Toronto (since that connection is >24 hours. You could still add an open jaw in Europe. For example: MUC-LHR (OJ) CDG-MUC. Or if you tighten up that YYZ connection to less than 24 hours you can add a stopover in Europe. For example: MUC-LHR (OJ) CDG-MUC-(Stop)-YYZ.
It's held but it's not ticketed. No one can take the seats from you but if LH puts the kibosh on this between now and tomorrow you might be SOL since it isn't ticketed (and even if it is we're still too early to know if LH will honor them but you can be sure if it isn't ticketed it's unlikely to be honored whenever they do finally put the kibosh on this, since presumably they'll just pull the inventory and it'll be similar to the phantom inventory situation).

405,000 miles and $600. And that's the last of my UA miles.
Thank you very much for your help. I was worried that it wouldn't ticket because I don't see any availability now, and the first agent said that she had no way to check and that I'd have to call Lufthansa (I asked her to MAKE SURE that the availability was there before I transferred some UR points over).
Had to hang up and call again to find someone who knew what I meant.
So glad to have that "call me now" feature.
Looking forward to this trip.
