!Ay! Please be realistic. Even some random errors do return like the RGN we all remember so well, lol - I do not think this one will "come back soon." It is very evident that UA tracked down the IT oversight that failed to charge YQ on these OJ itins and they have implemented a systematic correction. Muchachos I have flown these of course and I have another one soon. Buut I want to upfare and apply GPU to the return sector only but of course when I attempt this change online now I see the fare delta between CURRENT W fares on this route and my purchase. This is very large.

Soo... has anybody tried this after flying the outbound? It seems repricing should occur at historic levels and therefore the upfare delta should be much less than it appears now? Gracias por su respuesta!

Wait until you arrived at your destination and change your return Flight into W class , UA will charge you only the fare differential between paid and W Fare plus a possible change Fee , mostly not since its only an upsell ..... good luck !

Si that is how it seems to me from the fare rules. But we know that field test is the only methodology with guaranteed result. I will attempt this from PEK and report back.

Thank you for the update.
My itinerary includes five segment outbound and four segment return, with three different airlines. I can make it all United metals with five segments in total. This is the reason for changing the arrival airport from XIY to CTU. I am in no hurry to call United. They will call me in the next few days. The agent will be more willing to take my suggestion than 1K agents if I call now. My backup plan is to get a full refund.
By the way, I cannot make the last GUM-HKG flight.

Edit: United called me and left a message about this canceled flight on Aug. 27. I have not called back.

Edit 2: United has sent me receipts (without the GUM-HKG segment) twice so far. I am in no hurry to call back. I may choose to cancel it later.

Sadly (but my wife will be happy to hear it), I have to cancel the entire trip for full refund. The agent was not flexible in letting me change the destination (XIY to CTU on outbound).

Is this fare finally dead now? I've never seen it down this long without popping back up. RIP if so :(

I think it's still alive?

Anyone has a better route fly through Japan?

Unfortunately these runs are not nearly as useful as before since PQM is no longer a qualification criteria for United. There are better ways to rack up PQF domestically so I think this is only useful when credited to *A partner airlines with distance based award miles.

Anyone "missed" the HKG - China segment? Were you able to use your return?
