Today while looking for a UA award ticket YUL-YVR, assuming it would be an AC Star award, I was given the routing YUL-IAD-ORD-YVR and YVR-DEN-ORD-YUL on the return. Anyone else see that before? Must be interesting when going through customs....

Not on award. I
have flown: YYZ-ORD-YYC-ORD-YYZ on UA on a paying ticket several times. When asked by US Customs, I simply reply, Like to support United. Custom officers smile and couple have said: "Thankyou for flying United."
As for their Canadian Counterpart no reaction.
