UA Ps 757-200 Jfk-lax, which are the best seats?
Are bassinets available? On the phone I was told no, but united has made such mistakes in the past.
Sorry forgot to add I'm talking about business.

Are UA J and F classes always inferior to it's competitors?
Like comparing fresh bread to moldy bread. You can't compare them.

depends to where... I flew UA F on a 767 & I was impressed & comfortable.. Now compared to EK F, CX F & SQ R for example its a joke..
F on UA is a joke compared to any airline. Besides when comparing to LY.

Nah, don't do that. UA at least, each seat has aisle access.

I agree with LH & LX. All I said was that LX in J isnt THAT much better than UA in J. Thats all
I agree if you were talking regarding the new UA BusinessFirst, but the old rear facing seats, the one the OP was talking about is bad.... Definitely go with LX.

Does LH often swap LH401 to this aircraft?

Is there indeed no F on this plane? Last week this flight was on an A380 and F was sold out. What would be the reason for them doing an aircraft swap and where did they put the F pax?

Strictly I'm terms of hard product, you'd pick an F, and it'd be ranked 1, 2, 3, 7.
