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.

IAD - Mumbai ~300

I just booked two tickets to Mumbai in March for about $300.

It is saying "confirmed".

Question: If I use my US Airways FF Number, will I still earn US Airways miles on this, which will later convert to AA miles? It should work that way right?

I just don't know what the US Airways / united situation will be in March.

No one knows - you'll have to wait and see. US is expected to leave Star Alliance on 3/1 (not confirmed). If that's true, it's very doubtful you'll earn US miles for a UA flight after that date.

You can always earn UA miles. I'd leave your US number in there and if you need to change it then do so. Maybe to Aegean Air for some lifetime gold status! http://boardingarea.com/viewfromthew...e-gold-status/

SFO - BOM in March is showing up for 2671 NOK / 440 USD
SFO - BOM in May is showing up for 3886 NOK / 640 USD

Less of a deal in May as a pure MR, but still a great deal. It may go beyond the winter schedule depending on destination. YMMV.

Can anyone confirm UA L would map to LH L? It would be a bummer to not earn miles for it!
