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.")

Just as a curiosity -- unexplained.....
I have a Wideroe itin coming soon. 5 pax on the same locator. I've been able to view it just fine on ual.com since we booked it.
Then about a week ago, it would show up in my itineraries, but when I click on it, the my browser just grinds on united.com (for several mins) and eventually times out and gives me some interesting messages about not being able to connect to the database. (Will try to post the msg later when I get it again.) If I click on e-receipt, it shows ok -- the view rez and change seats time out.
FWIW, my other UA itins appear fine -- this is just my last Wideroe itin that won't come up.
It's no big deal (probably!), but it would be nice to get to the seat map. And I guess it'll be interested to see if OLCI works.
Anybody else run into this?

In our case, my best guess was that this involved a new passport not having been verified yet. I'm not too worried since--like yours--all looks fine on dot bomb (other than one person needing to check in at the airport kiosk).

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.

Arrived at MXP and spent the day in the city at the Sforza Castle (there was an express train to Cadorna that takes 29 minutes and seemed to line up perfectly with my schedule). Everything is going (suspiciously) well, and the tickets were problem-free. Thanks again, OP!
I'm now back at MXP, waiting for my flight to ATH on A3. There is a Norwegian flight boarding next to mine, and I kind-of want to go over and thank them for all the recent MR deals on UA/DL

Me and a friend depart for DXB in 2 weeks. We are going to see Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat (Oman), and Budapest.
I will be flying a day before my birthday. Here's to hoping for an upgrade for the 13 1/2 hour flight >.<

Info only.....
I've had a couple schedule changes in the last month for October travel.
My nonstop MXP-YYZ has been cancelled and I was given later and later departure times from MXP. The last one with a 40 minute connection in MUC.
I sent an e-mail to Wideroe asking for an earlier departure time with a connection in FRA. They replied saying it would be a $300 change fee. I replied saying I should get flight times closer to what I originally booked with a longer connection time. The result, I was given a early departure from MXP with a longer connection in FRA.^

What a great trip this fare created! Thanks to the OP (and directly Wideroe I guess.) Went SEA-EWR-BOM/BOM-FRA-ORD-SEA and with Y+ seating it was a pleasant journey throughout. Was offered a buy up on EWR-BOM but at $1591 and only one seat left (when two of us are travelling) it really didn't seem appealing at all. For what it is worth, someone did grab it later as the J cabin was packed.

I just got back from 8 days in Italy and everything went great. Not a single issue with the tickets and my miles all posted corrected to UA. Flew LGA-YYZ and YYZ-FRA on AC and FRA-MXP on LH. I'm looking forward to my 8 day trip to Greece in September!

The next morning at check-in was a bit interesting. They told me we were flying to OSL and returning from ARN. Eventually they had to play with the ticket (not sure what they did) to get the SAS segment reinstated. But they got it done.
Oh, and one of the DIA agents told my buddy that they could reinstate the segment, but that since UA doesn't have interline agreements with WF, they could only check his bag to OSL and that he would have to claim it there and re-check it. Being a bit of a dope, he said 'OK'. Of course, there wasn't enough time to clear to that, so he missed the SAS OSL-ARN flight, and had to be put on the next one 2 hour later. (On the plus side, he's now claiming that he's been to Norway because he did take a minute to step outside the airport.) Ironically, although we made the connection, our bags -- which were properly tagged for the interline did not -- and had to be delivered to the hotel.
Overall a great trip. And sadly the end of my Wideroe tickets. thanks to the OP for sharing this!

I was able to SDC on the last segment to get back earlier using the app. Ticket number did NOT change, so it was only revalidated (not reissued).
During an earlier trip, I was able to SDC to an earlier flight for the first segment by agent. Again, ticket number did not change.
I am not sure whether I can change routing directly using the app or agent (UA+LH -> UA nonstop). Has anyone had any similar successful story? How smooth did it go?
