Business class flights on Air Canada, where to post the miles?

I just scored an amazing business class ticket (P Class) on Air Canada from New York to Paris for $1440 over Thanksgiving. As a Delta Platinum and AA Platinum, I don't have a huge need for United or Air Canada miles. Where should I post these miles? Anyone have any thoughts on what would be most lucrative?

If it's an Air Canada ticket, and was not ticketed by United, you will earn 200% of the flight miles for award miles if you book them with United. While not spectacular in and of itself, this fare earns you more than 14,500 award miles, good enough for at least a one-way domestic award ticket. That's the best you'll be able to do considering earning and the ease (and cost) of redemption.

Just remember UA's 18 month mileage expiration policy.

if not a 016 ticket then I would credit to UA for sure. That's an easy 16k miles.

Thanks, all! Yes it isn't a united issued ticket so I would get the 200% credit. Pretty sweet!

I just completed a pretty massive AC itinerary in P class. Just a SYD-YVR flight landed me over 23k miles. 200% bonus for P plus 100% for being 1K. So, yes, even as a base member UA is probably a good program to credit to.
