My recent experience has been that, for transcoder flight UA codes op by AC, the fare class matches.
For domedtic flights op by AC, it does not - often goes to AC tango for UA restricted.

From what I can tell now for domestic, V-M match to Flex, and Y/B match to Latitude. I also wonder about United A fares. I've seen United sell A fares on Air Canada flights as business class. I wonder whether it properly corresponds to an Air Canada J class fare.

I am so done with codeshares! Booked YHZ-YYZ-LAX-KOA on AC.com last night in Flex, V. LAX-KOA with United. Check the booking on UA and it booked into T. Is it really that hard to line them up?

It's the same the other way when you book into one of the lower upgradeable fares with UA that books into Tango on the AC segments. This is one of the reasons I abandoned codeshares a long time ago.

Just double checking from other's experience: If I book a 016 ticket with 3 segments, all in United's W class, will I receive 100% credit to AP?
The itinerary is:
YVR-LAX (AC metal)
LAX-SFO
SFO-YVR
Reason for booking 016 is the itinerary is significantly cheaper than booking Flex on AC, even as a W ticket.
Thanks

When booking an AC codeshare with NH, AC was able to tell me specifically the NH booking class equivalent.

Quick question from the experts here. I booked myself on AC flights, but United (016) ticket stock. The UA flights are booked in Business P and Business Z buckets. I went on to AC's site, selected seats in J with no issues. But in the AC manage my booking on AC.com, it shows flights as:
Just a dumb IT issue, or should I be concerned? Reason I am concerned is the United Business booking was only marginally more expensive than booking Tango on AC.com and substantially less expensive than booking J on AC.com. Sometimes it might be "too good to be true"

I'd verify with a person you're going to sit up front on the first segment.
Generally, though, I frequently see ua.com, 016, UA codeshare, AC metal YHZ-YYZ-MainStreetUSA as being cheaper then ac.com/014/AC-xxx routing.

Called in to AC, agent confirmed outbound is P and return is Z on AC and both flights are in business class. Guess it's weird IT issue.

Worse, some were booked into Y-based booking class that earns no mileage.

After the YYZ-SFO price discrepancy where the UA J price was $1,000 less than the AC price I decided to check the codeshares more regularly when booking for the family.
Have to bring little Yhztraveller #2 home from BOS in early May. Aeroplan ticket was 15K miles and $141 in fee's. AC Tango return fare was $196. Same flights on UA (yes, economy fare) was $1,587!!!
I booked the AC fares!
