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

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.")

(As if this fare needed anymore verification)
Successfully flew the rescheduled LX JFK-FRA (A380!!) and then FRA-DXB. Wonderful flight. Mope fully I earn 125% base miles since it was rebooked in Y.
Dubai is a beautiful city, just had a 15.5 dirham taxi ride across town- $4!

LX (Swiss) does not have A380's and even if they did; doubt they would fly them to germany :P
LH (Lufthansa) is what you meant...

I finished the last of my tickets -- 2nd flight into DXB. On the outbound, the EWR-IAD leg was significantly delayed and was giving me a 30 min cxn in IAD. I got a sympathetic agent willing to rebook me on the EWR-FRA-DXB flight and actually even had me "protected" on that flight in case the EWR-IAD got further delayed. In the end, I flew the original leg (we were able to connect with like 5 min to spare). Was totally bummed that I potentially gave up a Y-class routing (but wanted the non-stop and E+ seating throughout).
Met a fellow WF traveller on outbound and inbound. And we ended up getting the same crew on the inbound flights as we had on the outbound.
Overall -- THANKS to the OP !

Air Canada says that they refund fuel surcharges, wideroe says no?
I just cancelled one of tickets on this special deal. According to Air Canada's website, AC refunds fuel surcharges on all unused tickets.
But wideroe is saying that they won't refund the fuel surcharges, only the airport taxes.
Has anyone else cancelled the ticket with wideroe and what refunds have you received?
Thank you very much

On the invoice it shows base fare, fuel surcharge, airport fees and the wideroe fee. I understand that we were not charged the YQ surcharge, but it clearly states that I paid a fuel surcharge on my invoice..

First, and most importantly, huge thanks to the OP for starting this thread! I've had some fun trips.
Next, I did a Platinum challenge with these tickets, and got status.
I haven't really flown United this much in several years, and, I have to say, I'm really not impressed by what I found this year on UA.
For one, I did 15 segments, eight of which were domestic. I was upgraded on two. In comparison, I've done better back when I was a Delta Silver, and I always do better on Delta and AA now (Plat on both - and I recognize that AA isn't a good comparison due to a different mileage level for Plat, plus the need to use stickers).
Next, 75% mileage bonus isn't as compelling to me as either AA or DL (at least, for the rest of this year).
But my biggest gripe with UA is just the planes. The 777s to Dubai were OK, but the 767s to Europe are really awful. No way to get across to the other side short of going all the way to the back, which means having no carts in either aisle. Passing just to get to the bathroom is tough - no extra space around the bulkhead seats. And E+ feels a lot more roomy on a UA 737 than on these widebodies. My last 767 was really bad - they seem to have burned some mushroom entree and it just stunk for the entire flight (MXP-EWR).
I'm also really annoyed by the incessant advertising, especially the way that even if you have your monitor OFF, on a transcon, it turns on and gives you a series of ads in the middle of the journey. No way around it. The audio of it is annoying also. But I'm glad Delavane is having a good experience with her Chase card.
I really thought I'd end up using the Wideroe + Challenge as a way to start flying UA again, but it's just going to happen for me.
Sorry for the digression OT.
Again, thanks OP!

I'd also like to give a big thank you to the OP for this amazing deal!
I booked my first trip to Europe thanks to this deal (BTV-EWR-OSL-BGO-OSL-EWR-BTV).
I got experience flying with SAS domestically OSL-BGO-OSL, a little different from UA I must say
Since I have a blog reviewing in flight meals (mostly Economy class) and lounges, I'd like to share the ones from this trip here.

SAS 257 – OSL-BGO & SAS 246 – BGO-OSL: http://airgrindz.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/sas257-246-1/

cheers!

So no elite for me but a heck of CPM
