United. If the OP prints out everything showing that he is in Y, and no BE disclosures, and UA's fare rules prohibit selling BE to non-US addresses, then he has a pretty good argument that its not his issue, he gets Y. That is my point. A reasonable airline would just put you in Y, but hey this is United we are taking about...

Now does he win that argument? YMMV. I am 100% I win that argument, but I'm a lawyer, and I know how to escalate very effectively...

The alternative "I don't want to mess with it" response is just to book OAL, especially if the price is the same/similar. OP suggested he might just do this. It is all his risk threshold.
