Here is the Air Canada friendly version of this run

Here's the Air Canada friendly version ...hopefully someone won't rain on my parade and tell me that what I booked will get less than 100% miles

You should be fine:

http://www.united.com/cms/en-us/mark...spx?ItemId=298

http://www.united.com/cms/en-us/mark...spx?ItemId=313

because you don't have any intra-europe Lufthansa flights, but I may be incorrect.

so i messed up and forgot to do the multi through KWI (loss of 1000 EQM). Anyway, I guess SDC would work (but upgrade chances would be done for - if i even had a chance lol should be premiere plat by then) but should i try to call in and ask them for the 500mi after the flight or maybe even to change it before without a whopping 300 change fee?

you lose 480 PQM total, IAD-BAH is the exact same distance as IAD-KWI-BAH, so you just lose the 240 mile bonus from the 260 mile KWI-BAH flight.

???

Air Canada K is 100% earning, I have no idea where you are getting your information from.

It's the Lufthansa K will earn you 0%.

EDIT: this is in regards to MP on UA, no idea about Aeroplan

Note the LH segments in K earn no mileage in either AE or MP.

Best deal was through Istanbul and it costs almost as much as the LAX-BAH ticket!
And why should that be surprising? As you note, none of the countries recognize Israel nor is there any direct air link from that country to the Gulf states or most of the Middle East for obvious reasons. I am not sure I'd want to have a ticket originating/ending in Israel on my person in case I am asked to show my inbound and/or return ticket at an Arab country's immigration desk.

Having an Israeli stamp on your passport could bring potential problems when trying to enter a country in the middle east. I advise you not to combine such trips.

Except for LAX-YYZ, which is 2,200 miles. The only mileage earning segment in that outbound itinerary was YYZ-FRA.

Are we talking MileagePlus or Aeroplan?

If it's MileagePlus, everything in the itinerary is 100% earning, except for the Lufthansa segments.

For some reason I thought the fare was in the discounted economy bucket, which wouldn't earn miles for US/Canada flights, my mistake. Still giving up a lot of miles for LH flights.
