mismatch between predicted award miles on email and online
I booked an LH only 4 segment booking with UA as same price as on LH but a 016 ticket was going to earn more award miles. On the confirmation email it says (for the total of all 4 segs):
Award Miles PQM PQS PQD
4444 2038 4 404
But on my UA account reservation it says:
Award miles PQM PQS PQD
5,830 2,038 4 $530 USD
The latter is more like what I'd expect (I bought in GBP). Any good reason why the email seems to be inaccurate? Apart from the generally impressive nature of UA IT systems ;-).
Also, my understanding is that for award miles booking class is irrelevant for earning if on 016 stock (providing it's one which will give me PQM) -- it's only total ticket costs that counts. Right?
