Flying May 30-June 6, so we'll know in a while, but not really in time to do anything about it if it fails.
Would still love to know if anyone else has experience with this -- do UA flight numbers on US metal count for double EQMs?
Where did you book this - UA.bomb or Orbitz/Expedia? Curious why you couldn't get your US FF# in the reservation.
If you get your US FF# in there, I would guess you'll probably get DPQM's on the US segments. I base this on the fact that preferred upgrades work when booking codeshares on US metal (even though the website says that shouldn't happen). I'm guessing their backend code isn't developed enough to realize you didn't book it with a US flight number and won't know the difference.
