As indicated in the thread title, this deal is now dead.

How do I manage my itinerary/check my booking/select seats?

Note that the displayed receipt will be incorrect ($5 higher than actual) owing to a programming error. The taxes/fees shown includes the original $5 WF booking fee. Do not worry about this; it does not change the amount you are actually billed.
How many miles will I earn on United from my flight?
Here's the UA master page listing airline partners. If you click on a partner logo, you'll see a page containing a chart showing the yield for flights taken on partner metal. (It even says explicitly that it's the metal that counts: "The award miles accrued on codeshare flights are based on the operating carrier and their equivalent fare class.")

MileagePlus (UA) earning charts for
Will I do better if I credit to another *A carrier instead?
Maybe.

Miles&More (LH, LX,...) earning charts for
  • United Airlines (UA) (K, L, T fares earn 50%, 25% for flights in 2014)
  • Lufthansa (LH) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Swiss (LX) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)
  • Air Canada (AC) (K, L, T fares earn 50% for TATL flights in 2013, 25% for TATL flights in 2014)

Here's the master list of partner earning charts for Aegean (A3) and here's the list for Turkish Airlines (TK).
Are there other FlyerTalk members flying when I am?
Quite possibly! There is a meetup thread on the CommunityBuzz forum. Post if you would like to participate.

I just don't know what the US Airways / united situation will be in March.
If they are still partners then the UA flights will credit to the US program just fine. If they are no longer partners then the flights won't credit to UA. You'd have to post them elsewhere at that point.

Remember that cheaper UA fares only earn 50% in the A3 program.

Once these tickets actually ticket due to EU rules must these tickets be honored?

Are we going to BK this company?

Found it under "bookingklasse" under the price breakdown, if anyone else is wondering. Terrible for A3 cardholders as e.g. LH booking classes are L, with 0% mileage.

I should note that while UA shows the reservation, it does say "This reservation is not ticketed."

they are taking up to and over an hour to ticket. if you don't have a ticket in a few hours, get worried, but do not call until the "deal" is dead.
