I'm seeing it too. In all the cases I'm seeing it is where the longhaul is in Y and the feeders are in J. For example SIN-BKK-FRA-LHR where BKK-FRA is in Y while the others are in J. Seems to price out at the UA rate instead of the partner rate in that case. Looks like maybe there is some distance based logic in there??? Of course anyone who books that should be ashamed since the corresponding all-Y itinerary is 55k.
