Neither does it affect it. Then why do you insist on doing so?

And selling miles or award tickets is in no way a violation of the rules of the carrier. You are confusing carrier and loyalty program. Mileage programs are not the carrier in any instance. Violating a Mileage Plus rule is not a volation of a United Airlines rule.

None, but federal law says that no state or local government may make any laws pertaining to air travel. Period.
