If the IT stuff works out correctly (and that's a big IF for UA), both BPs should reflect the premier access status granted by the F segment, IIRC.

You will have Premier Access for check-in and security line, along with F baggage allowance. Not so sure about Premier Access for the boarding group on the coach flight. Had a similar situation as Premier Gold, and I was boarding in Group 2 for the coach flight, and Group 1 for the F flight.

IME, the system used to apply the Group 1 boarding to all flights, even those not in F. However, I beleive it has since changed, and boarding group is based on the class of service for each flight. Not sure which was correct.

All other F benefits (bag allowance, premier access, etc.) should apply for the whole trip.
