A friend of mine just asked me about a similar issue with a mixed carrier booking; nothing was showing for partners. Given how often the partner numbers were wrong I'd say this might be a good thing, though I'd prefer they actually got it right.

Same for me.
I was scouting out VDB options BOS-SFO for this Saturday and noticed that all the connecting flights (i.e. BOS-ORD-SFO, BOS-EWR-SFO, BOS-IAH-SFO) were only listing mileage for the first segment but it was also listed as the total mileage under the second leg
Just another fine example of our wonderful friend SHARES and the PoS PSS doing what it does best

1) Booking class bonuses or reductions
2) Elite bonuses
3) 500 mile minimums
4) Partner booking class earning rules
5) Codeshare booking class mapping

I won't miss these misleading numbers. As I noted in another thread recently here someone was confused by them, they fail to account for at least:
1) Booking class bonuses or reductions
2) Elite bonuses
3) 500 mile minimums
4) Partner booking class earning rules
5) Codeshare booking class mapping

Of course, I realise that I am totally opposite to the vast majority who post on this board, who take every opportunity to snipe at UA. I actually prefer travelling with them than any other carrier.
BTW. I wasn't asking for an opinion on whether these figures should be available or not. I was asking if anyone else was seeing that they were missing at this moment in time.

If that's all you wanted, you already got your answer and there's no need for any additional posts here. Time to hit the "notify moderators" icon and request that the thread be closed.

I am seeing a lot of missing mileage data as well.
Doesn't appear to be a pattern that I can discern....
Maybe they are selectively shrinking the globe again.
