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.")

Sounds like OP wants to take the Wideroe flight and drop the previously booked UA ZFV-LAS flight.

And I think it's only fair that the fat cats pay their fair share (which they don't!). There's a lot more plane/seat/staff/luggage to be lifted aloft for each Biz/First passenger than there is for each economy passenger!!! Why should they only pay the economy rate?

Some interesting information from this Aftenposten article:
- Only 6228 tickets were sold over the weekend (not 15,000 as previously stated)
- Wideroe confirms a Wideroe employee leaked the deal on flyertalk, but claims he thought these were not mistake fares, rather part of a controlled price strategy
- Air Canada agrees to honor all tickets
- United is still reviewing and will not comment on whether it will honor the tickets

And aditionally, they say that the loss in revenue (due to the normal sale of WK's own tickets being disrupted by the splurge on these UA/AC tickets) more than offsets their "gain" in booking fees for these UA/AC tickets.

It doesn't take many missed tickets that people couldn't book to lose out on $31k in revenue.

Well, if they only sold that many tickets, they would only have gotten about $31k in booking fees at $5 a pop (which frankly lends credence to the idea that they weren't doing this just to make a bunch of extra commissions).

I imagine not many bookings were lost if someone couldn't book for a few hours on Saturday. Most of wideroes flights are domestic, and many of those destinations are only served by wideroe so it's not as if people can jump over to another airline

Of course they may have come back to try on Monday so who really knows except Wideroe when they look at the monthly numbers compared to what they forecast.
