I have screen shots of the purchase where it clearly says First (A) under that leg. ...
this is probably UA intreperting AC's A as UA's discount First rather the AC's discount economy.

This is an issue with SQ's R (FC vs UA's upgrade fare class), and there have been other examples.

Realisticly, the no way this is what FC YVR-HNL would be priced out so it is a clear website error. This is not as bad as the 4 mile HKG fare but should be intersting if UA will honor a clear mistake by their website.
