OK - first, this works out to $350 USD.

Second, it's only going to accumulate 50% mileage - which is going to push this out of mileage run territory, no matter what.

It will credit 100% to UA MP. So 3.9cpm in USD.

Of course... my apologies to Carlos. Once again, UA is proving to be a far superior program.

(Unless you're Canadian, then it's a far superiour program. )

I've never seen anyone (I'm Canadian) throw a U into superior. Do we actually do that? I know honour...and a couple others which are escaping me but never seen superiour.

Even if it's not a MR, this is a great price to scandinavia and if you're an AC elite you'll get the 50% miles but still got your seat selections and such.

AC K class, correct ?
100% PQM but 50% RDM for UA MileagePlus.

Then again, most of the MRs have become QMRs - Qualifying Mileage Runs - in any case...

Really, 100% UA, these are tango fares on AC, and the ticket is issues threw Air. Canada so it would not start with 016 which according to the UA website "milage accruall" 50%. Where was premier qualification on economy fares in M,U,H,Q,V,W,G are 100 percent.

But I must be missing something. Either way, glad this is a discussion topic and thank you for the perspectives, as I think I might take advantage of this.

mistake fare?

This fare is still kicking around - but - there is a problem. The fare ($534 a.i.) won't book on line so one needs to call AC:

There appears to be an issue with the flights you have selected. This prevents us from completing your transaction online. Please call us:
In Canada or the U.S.: 1-855-831-1437
Other countries

Please take note of and provide the call center agent with the following information:
Flight(s): AC882 - SK1726 : SK1725 - AC883
Booking class(es): K - T : T - K


I called AC today and they said the WEB site is in error and the fare cannot be booked through the contact centre because it involves SK segments.

Any FTs have a suggestion how to proceed? i.e. How can I get AC to honour it?

All in K class book it on vayama. As well it comes up to about $720 CAD almost priced the same as Paris flights. So this is not really a deal.
