That… isn’t true. It is possible that it couldn’t be purchased with YYZ-YYT UA codes, but even then I doubt it. Alaska cruises that depart Vancouver are allowed to transport people from a stopover in Juneau to a stop in Anchorage.

It definitely isn’t true with AC codes; anyone can go in and buy a domestic AC flight with MileagePlus miles with no cabotage issues at all.

UA is acting as an agent for AC, and AC can operate the flight legally.
