I've had my share of award tickets that are beyond the MPM, but only when the routing is published as such... Otherwise, the MPM is very sticky...
Good luck!
Well, the point is, assuming the information given to me was correct:
UA doesn't fly to BGR and (AFAIK) doesn't even publish any fares, so I'm guessing that they probably don't have a published route for it (and even if, BOS is not really going out of the way, in fact BOS is about as close as you can get (directly) to to BGR [Bangor, ME] in the US from Europe). On the other hand, I'm not changing the amount of miles travelled at all, so that's why I'm confused...
