It's a mixed cabin, so it's pricing out at the ua rate.

So if the long haul flight is UA metal, and the partner flight is a mixed cabin it will price at 70k?

Ok. Now I'm confused.
Both itins are a UA long haul + Partner short haul, no mixed cabin.
Why is pic #1 pricing at 57.5k as supposed to the 70k partner rate the same way pic #2 is pricing at 80k which is the partner rate as supposed to the 70k UA rate?

Definitely strange. The first pic is how it's been. The second pic is new though. Until now that would always price out at the United rate. It looks like between TLV and NYC they're pricing out all of the J awards with both a United and non United flight, at the higher rate now. What's strange though is the inconsistency. Why they're doing it for TLV - US awards, but not Europe - US awards.

Answer: In pic #2 since the partner leg isn't just an add on, rather taking you from one region to another, it will price as a partner award.

Good explanation, though I'm positive it wasn't like that a few months ago.
