For example, say the following itin:
EWR - LHR UA J
LHR - BKK TG Y
BKK - HKG TG Y
HKG - EWR UA J
"Specifically, if a United/Copa award itinerary contains a connecting segment on a MileagePlus/Star partner that is
wholly within one MileagePlus award region, then the United award price will apply."
Since you are crossing regions, I think it won't price as an UA award
