Have seen this fare pop up intermittently - flew ORD-ARN on this fare on the A330 last year.

Believe PE gets SAS lounge access as well, though it's not much to write home about.

FWIW, T5 at ORD is still a bit of a disaster with renovations, and not sure airside transfer has opened back up from the other terminals yet, so would leave a little time if connecting in.

Delta has moved into T5. I am planning to fly in and out of ORD with DL.

For those crediting to UA. PE fares would be limited to 500 on the long haul, so you are looking at 1,000 PQP + whatever intra-Europe would earn. The $500 fare to DUB would earn more than 2 PQP for every $1 of spend. The $700+ fare would still earn the same PQP.
