CO 752 LAX-EWR is by far and away the best.

IIRC lie-flat for EWR-LAX isn't guaranteed.

If you are on a CO 752 it will be lie-flat.

If your 50k is with US Air, then they charge the same price, 50k, for biz and first, so you can book United PS First Class.  It's a more expensive ticket than the CO 752 and it flies to/from JFK but is not really a true lie flat.  Pretty wierd quirk in the US Air award chart though.

yes, first on a 3 cabin plane, the only one on the jfk-lax (and jfk-sfo) route for star alliance being the united p.s.
[AA also runs 3 cabin planes on the JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO route]

seatguru seams to think that they do

http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/American_Airlines/American_Airlines_Boeing_767-200.php

if you read it you will notice they explain that while they claim to be lie flat they actually are not
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.
