Called UA again. Gave them UA7990 and UA7994 for the NH flights inbound. No codeshare available for AC.
Same...CSR couldn't do it. She didn't really give me an explanation.
Oh well. Not a big deal. Guess I'll go thru USA :P

I have managed to reproduce ITA flights on Google flights and push it into UA when bomb.com could not generate the itinerary.
When I did it the "trick" was to totally ignore the price that Google flight shows, but to choose the flights I wanted. ITA priced the itinerary correctly, the same itinerary on Google flights was about 5 times the price, but when pushed to UA, the correct price and flights showed and ticketed successfully; this was on a more complicated itinerary, but not by much, and only included one UA metal flight (the last one on the return section).

YVR immigration/customs is a living hell at the best of times. I avoid flying thru YVR for this reason alone.

YVR isn’t that bad for Canadian passport holders, especially if you avoid the mid-morning crunch of Asian arrivals (not likely for OP) and general summer cruise line chaos. My typical evening arrivals let me be out of there about 15 min after deplaning.
