This looks correct to me. You are getting 200% based on your D class purchase and the additional 100% is an elite RDM bonus for 1Ks on non UA tickets for selected partner airlines AC and LH included.

Thanks. Where is there posted info about this 1K bonus?

Another data point - I've booked a few comfort fare flights in the past couple months, and all have credited as M fares. 100% RDM/PQM. ^

Has anyone had recent experience with mileage crediting after an AC ticket exchange? My HNL-YVR flight after New Years was switched over to Omni Intl. due to the 737 MAX grounding.

When I look at the AC reservation, it now shows "J" class, although I originally booked in P. When I try to print a receipt of my flight, the detailed fare info reads:


The fare details are not available for this booking because there has been a change in itinerary.
With the new PQP scheme, it might be helpful to get "J" mileage credit over "P". Has anyone else who flew Omni to/from Hawaii on an AC ticket gotten credit in Mileage Plus?

I've had IRROPS put me into full Y from Flex, and it's usually credited correctly as my original fare class. With that being said, I have had a few cases of being credited in the "wrong" fare class, including credit for full J on a Lat FP. (which was quite nice on YYZ-YVR)
So I wouldn't count on getting J credit. It's possible, but I would say more likely than not, you'll get P credit.

Quick sanity check please: booked on 016 basic economy ticket (DCA-YYZ-LIS-EWR-DCA) that contains both UA and AC (Rouge) segments, all K class. Email receipt says I'll earn 100% PQM. This is wrong, correct? I should earn 50% PQM regardless of fare class because it's basic economy, per UA PQM earning chart for AC metal?

technically correct. With partner metal you never know how this comes back. Expect 50% and be delighted if it is more :)

Thanks! Mostly just wanted to make sure there was no chance of it being less than 50%. I’d miss my PQM target for the year if so.

I'm looking at AC K fare (international deep discount) from YVR - HKG. Non 016 stock. Both basic and non-basic are booked into K class.
According to AC, It seems basic fares only get 25% miles flown towards awards. But on UA's AC chart it just says K class gets you 50% (that chart does not address basic at all) - just want to make sure if I book basic, I will be using 0.5 as multiplier and not 0.25?

That's AC's 77HD. 450 seats in a 77W (UA's has 350). 14 hours of hell.

Wow. Haven't flown on one of those yet. I wish UA kept the GUM - HKG route. I flew on their last HKG - GUM route on the 14th. Will miss it.

I thought AC 777s had 1-2-1 premium cabins.

Anyone have a link to a seatmap of this? I want to see how they pack them in.

They do and the seats are very comfortable - maybe not as fancy as Polaris, but still perfectly fine. Service on the other hand can be described as bipolar.

No seatmap needed - trust me, I've flown this aircraft YYZ-LAX and it was the 1st-world equivalent of being waterboarded. The seats are very, very narrow, non-existent legroom, and inadequate cushioning. Anyone larger than a small child sitting beside you will make it pure hell. 5 hours was more than enough, I can't begin to imagine 14.

Here it is:

31" pitch, 17" wide. We should torture terrorists by forcing them to fly on this plane. After 2 or 3 flights, back-to-back, they'll spill their guts.
