So with UA miles, LH is top quality.
Did I miss anything?

Thanks.
Now you gotta share with me the trick (if there is) to get either SQ or LX in F.... (With UA miles)
Is there a way to do that?

SQ F>LX F>LH F
All of that is very debatable.

Why?  Nothing to be afraid of.
All of that is very debatable.
So, can you please share your own view?

You'll prob need to HUCACACACACACA but that should work, esp with LH.

I havent 'experienced' all the different variations.

In general, if this is a once in a lifetime experience, I think SQ is definitely the grandest, followed by LH and LX. If UA just stay at home.

For someone thats in the air once a week, I don't think theres a definitive best between LH/LX/SQ. It comes down to personal taste and mood, although generally the most important factor is schedule. I personally all else equal would take, LX>LH>SQ, unless it was a really long flight in which case SQ>LH>LX. Really depends on my mood.

Also, connections are a big factor. Connecting in FRA is a pain, but the FCT is awesome. So depends if one has enough time to relax there, in which case its a plus, or if one doesnt, in which case FRA is a minus. ZRH and SIN are both from the nicest and most efficient airports in the world, but the FCL in both are nothing to write home about (although you should definitely write to UA about them).

My in-flight experience in LX F was far superior than LH F.  Of course the LH FCT is very cool, but in the end of the day I'd go for the better flight experience than the better ground experience.

YMMV.  I'm happy we went one-way in LX F and one-way in LH F as that gave me a taste of both.

As I said, it depends. If I have some time, Id go to FRA and relax a bit.

Its kinda like asking to rate Salmon vs Rib Eye, both are very good and will make u full, just depends on your mood.

But I think LH is more of an experience with their constant nagging, so if its gonna be once in a life time I think its more differentiated than coach.

LH is readily available within 15 days of departure. Or just use SQ miles for SQ, it really doesnt cost that much
