But on the "Review trip itinerary" page, the tallies inexplicably decreased to 1615 base award miles, 1 PQF and 323 PQP. Similar situation on the return westbound Friday Island Hopper - decreased award miles, PQF and PQP amounts.
What's happening here?
Do the PQP values make sense? They should add up to be 80%+ of the ticket price (everything except taxes). United.com will recompute the ticket cost at checkout, so perhaps it was able to find a better deal.
As for the PQF, I don't have an answer for that, except that I believed from the beginning that UA would probably not credit each individual flight segment of the Hopper as a PQF. I was pleasantly surprised when the search results claimed otherwise.
