How? EF doesn't have a fare code matrix showing "L" on UA equals "x" code on all other *A carriers.
This is something I am still amazed United, or Star Alliance, have not been sued over yet. They make it impossible to figure out how many miles you will earn on a ticket unless you are diligent and call the partner airline. And even then most partner airline call centers have NO idea what a United "L" fare equates to on that carrier. So you have to ticket the itinerary first and then call the partner.
United, as the selling carrier, should give you this information. But United isn't alone. All *A carriers should be required to do so.
It's a lawsuit waiting to happen...and should happen. Or the airlines should publish a matrix.
