No,just speculation that the deal will close before the end of March, or sooner, in the usual thread now that the OFT has said its fine;

As for UA F with a connection... hmm... personally I wouldn't unless I was going to stopover in ORD - reason being I dislike internal US flights and its quite a way from ORD to SFO (plus the hassle of a transfer), unless you're on one of the planes that continues an international route domestically. I'd swap it for a ps (premium service) NYC-SFO, followed by a LHR-NYC though.

Having said that... what are your BD miles going to be worth in a few weeks/months, and how much have you spent getting them - so you may want to get some gaurenteed value frm them. Individual choice I suppose.
