CO has the 24 hour refund policy, but I don't think anything beyond that

This nonstop is rarely sold below 400 bucks, and I have NEVER seen it for anywhere near this price.

Never done it myself but I think most airline charge you a $250 change fee so if the lower fare is at least $250 cheaper, it is worth to try changing it.

*A: ORD-MUC-IST ~$566 Oct-April, 5cpm
On travelocity.com and .bomb. Farecompare lists it at $497 but I haven't found that yet. Ankara and IZM also might be available.

On CO, earnings appear to be 50% TATL, 0% EU
On UA...I'll copy and paste to let the FT people figure it out
Discount Economy
(within Europe but connecting to a transcontinental flight) T L 100% 100%
Discount Economy U 50% 50%
Discount Economy
(within Europe only) T L 0% 0%
No Mileage Credit X I O E 0% 0%
Does anybody know what that means, since the TATL is coded in L, too.

As a warning--this books into L and is only on LH operated flights from the availability I see.

Thanks for the heads-up. I am seeing CO and UA metal TATL, though. And http://www.continental.com/CMS/en-US...spx?ItemId=298 says 0% within "Europe," 50% elsewhere.
Edit to add: Apparently UA is unclear about what LH L earns. I dug for info, and a question came up at one point in the UA forum about earnings on LH TATL in L, and the poster was essentially told they'd have to find what LH bucket it maps to since L was only for EU flights. However, it was clear in that situation and in this one, LH is selling long haul tickets out of the L bucket.
In addition to CO, LH's M+M also credits as 50%.
Second edit: Apparently LH L earns 100%.
More digging: the phantom UA 497 ai that FC implies probably does not exist. It has taxes at 68, and the LH calculation on the same fare basis shows a more realistic 142.
Also, at this point, TK is now selling the nonstop for 505ai. Fares even lower filed to LH cities but none found on my searches.

TK flies non-stop to several destination in US, at very good prices. There are many Germans who prefer to fly XXX-IST-LAX or XXX-IST-IAD, so this seems like a logical move for LH/UA to move trafiic on their planes.
