OW Codeshare flights
Just wondering how I would go about booking a codeshare flight.
Looking at going from YVR to YYZ, and there's no direct flight with OW partners.
Is my only option going through the USA (YVR-JFK-YYZ for example)?
Or is there a way to book a codeshare flight that CX offers with WestJet (CX7040 or CX7042) that is YVR-YYZ.
Thanks!

If it is important to you to earn miles on a OW airline, simply hop down to SEA and fly AA SEA-ORD-YYZ.

One cannot ticket YVR-usa-YVR on a US carrier as US carriers have not been granted Ninth Freedom rights by Canada.

Or more correctly neither USA-CANADA-USA nor CANADA-USA-CANADA flight combinations can be ticketed as a single ticket due to the respective cabotage laws.
As suggested take surface transport to SEA and buy your ticket from there.
Happy wandering

However, since no Canadian airline is a OW member it is not possible for OP to fly a Canadian carrier via the US and receive OW miles. OP could, however, purchase YVR-SEA-YYZ on AC (not UA operated flights) and receive AC miles; but, AC is not in OW.
