1st one does have a note that it cannot be confirmed, so I guess that one will eventually drop off?
That's exactly what happened with mine. The OS itinerary is still there, has the red "contact United Reservations" message. Interestingly, there's now also a link that invites me to "Complete this purchase now." If I did not already have an itinerary I like, I'd probably call UA and ask whether it can in fact be ticketed.

I just farelocked flights in May ORD-MUC-BUD and ATH-MUC-ORD. This was too good to pass on... I think this is the first time I have ever been able to farelock LH flights!

Thanks. My second itin does not show the red note...just the disclaimer that they are waiting for "internal processing" to complete.

Anybody have thoughts on if this will actually ticket? OS outbound / Swiss return.

Anyone actually have OS ticket on this fare? The OS flights are not showing as UA codeshares, which I wonder if that is having an impact and they will never ticket...?

Nope. ZRH is destination. All on LOT with CX thru WAW. Lie flats on 788.

At $4000 I don't think it's a particularly good fare. I'm going to GVA/ZRH too, so gonna buy ATH-GVA/ GVA-BUD one-ways.

its about $2000pp (OP said two passengers at $3900ai), however i agree, LOT has not been getting good reviews of their J product so i don't think i'd regard this as a great deal either.

solid price for this, particularly to ATH from SFO on a very good product.

Same here, couldn't make anything work out of BOS. As I was noodling around, though, I did manage to find an $1,800 BOS<>TXL r/t in TK J via IST in April! Not bookable via UA though, so I wouldn't get 2x PQM.

Still tempting, since I've been itching for a long weekend in Berlin for months.
