I'm looking for flights in March (3/27) BOS-DUB. OW is pricing out at 30k. If i plug in Multi City that same leg is pricing at 15k. What gives?

15k per leg

If I'm booking a J class roundtrip to Europe, is the free add on leg to Hawaii also in J ?

Can this be done a OW as well?

Are there any other miles that are worth using for UA flights to Europe in J or F?

I.E. Lufthansa or Singapore or any others, and will they charge YQ and what range

Fast forward: I tried reaching out to UA, got nowhere, other than refund the miles & fees. I contacted the DOT in July. Less than 30 days later, received from UA "Although we’re unable to honor your request for full compensation, we will be sending each of you a $1000.00 United electronic travel certificate as a gesture of goodwill and to help make amends."

Thanks for the follow-up.

Why bother with an untested method when the general works so well?
It's been working for years, so definitely not untested. I used it to dump the fee on a tricked out itinerary that wouldnt've worked using the other method.

I wish you could help me right now I seem to have a issue with the usual method that was reported on FT its random but it happens and there seems to be no solution for it yet

Correct (but only X/I/O. not XN/IN/ON).
