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.")

I know to never call the airlines, but when the payment method fails since they shut it down, has anyone ever called UA to see if they will honor under lowest fare guarantee? Can always cancel the higher fare within 24-hours. Just curious if anyone ever tried in the past?
Also, has anyone ever kept data on fat finger fares that the airlines have actually honored? Would be interesting to see how many are honored by which airlines/travel agencies. I'm not online enough to catch one yet, tried once with a Spanair ticket on US metal, but canceled. I wish I could get a notification for fares like these!
LHR-ORD-LHR booked 6:22pm EST, still pending [but well past midnight in LHR so hoping]

b) This is not a fare mistake. This is the fuel surcharge being forgotten, ever since airlines started with the YQ nonsense, there have been many instances of this happening.
b) This is not a United issue, they are not issuing tickets here, I have no idea what one would accomplish by contacting United?

I remember low fares from back in the day when gas was still 99c per gallon. But $130 rt to Milan? That seems awfully low to not be some kind of mistake.

Base fares on NYC-MXP have been at near ZERO for months now, ever since EK announced they are flying EWR-MXP.
The fares have actually been as low as $10 + fuel surcharge + tax
Currently the fares are at $35 RT + fuel surcharge + tax.
When the fuel surcharge is forgotton, the net result is $130 all in .

a) This is not a fat fingered fare. The fares have not been changed, the fares have not been altered today.
b) This is not a fare mistake. This is the fuel surcharge being forgotten, ever since airlines started with the YQ nonsense, there have been many instances of this happening.
b) This is not a United issue, they are not issuing tickets here, I have no idea what one would accomplish by contacting United?

you should receive an email from "Wideroe Internet AS" with subject line "Receipt E ticket 701-xxxxxxx" where the x's are your eticket number. At that point you should also see a pending charge on your cc.
