Flying IAH-LGA/EWR-BOM on Sunday. Was just reading through the endish of the thread and saw that someone was able to get Wideroe to change linked city pairs (like LGA/EWR/JFK) without too much issue. I would greatly prefer not to do the $40 van shuffle across New York, so I emailed. Will update with what they say.

At LGA in maple leaf lounge. Flew DCA-JFK this morning, then through YYZ and FRA to MXP. Long trip but certainly an adventure. Thanks again OP!

Can't thank the op enough for this great fare. Just finishing my 3rd trip to Dxb from lax. Will have about 60k eqm parked in usair account and I'm only needing about 20k more to keep AA explat. Already flew 20k this year with them.

Sad to not be parking in MP but with the spend requirement and the mileage devaluation it was not in the cards for me.

The only major downside 14 segments in coach and 1 buy up to C iad to Dxb.

Agreed...thanks OP. I'm at IST now after my 14 hour LHR layover on Sunday. It's working out to be a good trip except for the TK redeye from LHR to IST... not that there was turb, or other problems, but the schedule of that flight is infernal. It leaves LHR at 1030pm and with a good push from upper level winds - as we had Sunday - it lands IST @ 330am local.

Just finished flying my second of these fares, this one to MXP via MUC, and wanted to leave a short report of the Air Dolomiti segment.
The flight was less than an hour, and I slept through most of the return since it left at 6:50 AM, but I'm quite impressed with the service on board. For such a short flight, to be given a (packaged) cold towel, small chocolates, decent packaged croissant (not great by Italian standards) and plenty of beverages and attentive service is very impressive. The airline uses bus gates at MXP and MUC, which can be a hassle. Also, passengers board and deplane through both front and rear exits at MUC. I wouldn't hesitate to fly them again if it were an option, though I certainly wouldn't choose to make an extra connection over a direct flight if available.

About to fly my return BOM-EWR/LGA-IAH tomorrow.

I thought EWR-BOM took forever on the way here, but we evidently set the fastest time ever NYC-BOM at 13 hours 39 minutes. Landed almost 90 minutes early.

India has been wonderful. Thanks Wideroe!

Empty middle seats to and from DXB over the weekend. It helped make it much more comfortable. Weirdly i had less jetlag flying ultra longhaul coach vs flying F/J on a similary flight length.

Got precheck in BOS & IAD. My special meal somehow made it into the reservation. Its in my UA profile but i never got around to requesting it, so not sure if it just copied over somehow during booking process.

I've recently completed trips to Dubai and Oslo utilizing this deal. Didn't have any issues with either trip; received Pre-Check on both and ended up springing for mileage + co-pay upgrades on 3 out of 4 eligible segments. Funny to see $117 in PQD post for IAD-DXB and $73 for EWR-OSL.

Many thanks to LN-MOW for alerting us to these incredible fares — I wish I had booked more than two trips!

And how was that meal?

jackal

Certainly better than the slop I got.

I sat next to someone who had requested a Kosher meal on TLV-EWR, and it looked and smelled SO much better than mine. Upon arrival, I promptly changed my profile to request Kosher meals, but I haven't yet flown UA internationally since then. (I'll be on IAD-DXB in May.)

CDKing

Hindu meal was good. I think i'm going to write a trip report. Although will probably get myself in trouble for starting another trip report when i still have 2 that have fallen behind incomplete.

This is what i witnessed from afar during one of the meal services:

regular meal options were tandoori chicken or vegetarian. a woman orders the chicken, she said "i think you gave me vegetarian". He said "no that's the chicken or what is supposed to be chicken".

Thanks again OP!

Wrapping up my final run using these fares today (in the lounge in mxp now)

Not a bad way to start the year with 40k PQM

Looking for a little bit of help for those who used the fare to transit thru MXP.

Have an upcoming trip from YYZ-FRA-MXP with a connection on to LHR. I plan on having my bag interlined if possible to the final destination (LHR).

Since I arrive in the EU in Frankfurt, do I clear immigration (passport control) there or when I arrive in Milan? Once in Milan can I just transit thru to my other flight without having to leave the terminal before clearing passport again in London?

Thanks for your help!

Did the flight attendant say that?! I got the chicken on the outbound, it was okay. After that, I went with the vegetarian options. At least they are all Indian dishes so they aren't completely flavorless. I didn't think to request a special meal. I shouldn't have eaten the breakfast coming back, I felt sick for the rest of my trip. Probably had something to do with not sleeping properly on the 15 hour flight, too.

Anyway, thanks for OP/wideroe for making this trip possible. Just completed my DXB trip and still have my MXP trip to look forward to.

You clear passport control in Frankfut upon entering Schengen area. At MXP, you can probably transfer directly to your LHR flight, although you need to clear passport control again since you are leaving Schengen area.
