I mean, try ticketing it, and see if it brings back an error, but if it’s consistent across UA’s site and third-party sites, it’s probably valid.

Codeshare agreements are fairly complicated, and they’re not public information so the best that we can do is guess. LH may have set aside a segment of the seats for UA to sell, or UA and LH may share access to the total inventory but their systems have different sales forecasts.
