But yes it is UA (but free booze on international flights coming next month).

However you are correct in pointing out that yvrjfkzrh is a much better routing than going anywhere on UA or most of the "new" AC.

I do not think you can redeem UA via BA unless I am missing something (I'm also new to this)
I'm in Canada, where there's barely any earning possibilities for UA (I believe the only one is the SPG Amex), or why do you think there's more earning possibility than AC in Canada? AC has THE most CC's with signup offers in Canada and transfers from Amex and SPG, too... AA at least transfers from RBC as well.
