Someone on the "Other Asian Airlines...." board said that the rumor is that UA will soon align the EVA award chart with the rest as UA did with Qatar.
When I was looking for award space on BR, the booking desk indicated that I could combine BR with *A flights on a single award booking. Since we never found space, I never got to see what the final booking looked like (single vs multiple PNRs, etc).
Hopefully someone who has successfully booked a MP award on BR will jump in.
