Flight Passes on code share flights?

I have a question and I'm hoping that someone can help. I'll be in Las Vegas for CES and haven't booked my flights home.

I was wondering if travelling on a flight pass would I be able to book

LAS-LAX
LAX-SFO
SFO-YVR

Looking mainly for a longer connection in LAX also running segments so I don't run into trouble later in the year in case my travel requirements change.

Any info/help would be appreciated.

Thank you and have a happy New Years!

I assume you mean a purchased AC Flight Pass?

No.

Thanks Dorian!

It's a Western Transborder Flight Pass and not quite sure how the pass works as I haven't redeemed any credits yet.

Flight Passes only work on AC metal.

You can preview what flights are available to you in the FP engine for a given date and route before using the credit (or in fact purchasing the flight pass).

Even during IRROPS, which is a little ridiculous. In fact, it might be a violation of a DOT rule. I should look that up.

I've been rerouted on a UA flight before during IRROPS when my original flight (YVR-SFO) was canceled and booked on a FP.

I spent an hour on the phone with reservations and they refused. The agent even checked with a supervisor.

"United won't accept zero dollars for a business class seat." or something like that.
