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.

When I pull these up on United.com right after ticketing, the top of the reservation says:

"This reservation is not ticketed.
We will hold this reservation until midnight Sat., Nov. 23, 2013 in New York/Newark, NJ (EWR - Liberty)."

Anyone else get something like that? Usually after you pay but before it tickets there's a message about how the ticket is confirmed but it was take time to ticket.

Thoughts?

mine had this for 60-80 minutes after i made the reservation, then it ticketed and i received a pdf of the reservation with a ticket number from wideroe, at which time the UA.com reservation flipped to "ticketed and confirmed"

The website says you have 24 hours to cancel for a full refund (these are also DOT rules which I believe apply to foreign website so long as the flight originates in the US) but it's nice it formally says you have 24 hours.

most of the fares displayed are K, which is why they are cheap. to find the more expensive options, scroll down in the results and some of those will be W. i believe in this case that S is mapping to W, but i can't be 100% sure.

How do you figure out booking class? I can't see it on wideroe.

Click through after you select your flights and on the next page there will be a booking class pop-out link that will show you the actual booking class.
