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.

If even just one tickets I will be ecstatic.
I was in the process of doing DAY to DUB for $312 before it locked up. The whole trip would have been less than the standard fare for DAY-NYC, hah.
Ha! I have #1 and #3 booked just like that.

I booked LAX-DXB for March at 12:46PM Pacific, and it ticketed at 5:41PM Pacific Time. I was still able to see fares on the cached website - so it's not quite dead. It is on 701 Ticket Stock.

Really? I assume it's a problem with Wideroe, not United otherwise wouldn't you be able to book the same tickets on every travel website in the world?
I agree. My prediction is WF will cancel all bookings. WF is outside the reach of US DOT. Not sure if EU have any consumer protection regarding mistakes.

DOT protection applies to any ticket originating the USA.

But this earns PQD on UA because it's operated on UA metal, right?

My attempt: booked EWR-LHR at 5:20PM EST, still waiting/hoping for tickets.
