It's a $2k ticket, and I'm mainly worried about the PQMs, that is where I struggle to hit 1K. Off the top of my head With taxes and fees out, the mile earned between straight miles and dollar won't be a huge difference. I've been looking around and I thought LH metal on LH tickets didn't get PQMs, or am I confusing a bulk-ticket issue?

I also like 016 tickets because I can manage it from inside UA, but that is a lesser issue.

ETA: I guess I can just call in and have an GPU added to a LH flight # on an LH ticket?
