Basic Economy and Star Alliance Gold (Air Canada/Aeroplan)
I want to go between LAS and SFO in the last week of August/first week of Sept.
This would be a return itinerary.
I am Star Alliance Gold through AC/Aeroplan.
Questions:
a) why can I not find the basic economy fares on the UA web site, but I can do so through google flights (which would then re-direct me to the UA web site with the basic economy fare).
b) what privileges do I have on this fare as a Star Alliance Gold member"
i) namely - checked bags allowance, hand baggage allowance, accrual of mileage through my airline frequent flyer plan, lounge access (I know that UA upper tier members do not automatically get United lounge access, but I believe (but I remain to be corrected) that foreign Star Alliance Gold members usually get lounge access, even for US domestic UA flights).
