Both flights are lie-flat 777-300ERs, can be had RT for about $850 in J and $300 in Y.
east_west - Thank you for your comments. Yes, currently BR61 does connect well to UA's 6:30 pm arrival, even when UA arrives late. This is not the case in the winter schedule though, when UA arrives 8 pm. BR206 is 1:45 am - 6:35 am. I try to avoid midnight flights, but I agree it does connect to UA872.
Sadly, I get PQM but no PQD for these flights, as they are always on separate tickets.
