Good price but books into P, which earns 100% on most programs

Also, looks like UA will have a direct flight EWR-CPT sometime in summer.

STOPOVERS 2 FREE STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT - 1 IN EACH DIRECTION IN FRA/MUC/GVA/VIE/ZRH/BRU/BER/DUS/LIS/OPO/ REK/PDL.
It errors out when I hit purchase on UA.com, tried a lot of different combos and dates...

EDIT: It actually worked, but not on my ideal dates....

EWR-CPT direct non-stop available at this fare in March 2022. They've been flying this route since 2020.

Still earns ~4100 PQP on LH/LX and ~4900/5000 on AC. With the 1500 pqp limits per segment thats a solid ratio

I booked on UA with UA on the outbound segments and TK and AC back with a stopover in Europe, so 2 trips in 1, but it is still pending because the TK flights are not confirmed. The AC segments earn 200% on A3 and the TK ones 150%. All lie flats except the N.A. domestic flights.

Does anyone know what is the current UA policy on cancelling nonrefundable flights. Would they still give flight credit? Even when partner flights are involved?

What is the UA 24-hour cancellation policy, is it the midnight of the next day or exactly 24 hours?

Pretty much 24h exactly. There could be approximately +1h, but not reliably.

If partner won't ticket, they should look for reroute on UA metal or offer full refund (not credit).

I once had a UA ticket with TK hung up on ticketing. I called TK, and the agent expressed cluelessness about any issue, but soon after the ticket issued. It might be worth a call to TK to ask if they see some issue (they can probably find it with the UA PNR, or if UA tells you a TK PNR on the reservation page, use that).

Thanks. I am still ambivalent about keeping this even if it tickets (the fare went up immediately after I booked it, so it is a toss up if it tickets). Does anyone know if UA will give flight credit on a nonrefundable fare with partners, if I decide to cancel later, like months later?

Is it possible to link of screenshot this? I searched on air canada and I can't find a business class option under $10k.

I received credit on a booking through UA that included AC and LH segments. But, you know, your mileage may vary with this type of thing.

As of a couple hours ago, the fare itself was still around but had gone up to around $2,100, which is still a very solid deal for ORD-CPT. The main challenge is finding P availability, which is extremely limited.

Seems like OS has just added 3x weekly VIE-CPT into the schedule for the northern hemisphere fall/winter. I've been able to find some P on that, e.g., ORD-LHR-VIE-CPT, but the layovers can be long. Others have found P on double connections within the US, e.g., ORD-DCA-EWR-CPT.

Not really - COVID interrupted this route in 2020.
