I flew with them in business after flying Us-air from PHL. The flight was much worse that the Us Air plane and the service was not as good either. The plane old and very hard to get out of my seat sitting in a window seat. I had to climb over the passenger next to me and he was getting annoyed.

Though Ua's lie flat beds are pretty decent size and length (i'm 6ft) - that set up of side by side is horrendous.

For economy though, they're all fine. all avg 31" leg room. My preferred economy is delta.

More information on elite status/class of service/loyalty programs/location you are originating from would be helpful.

UA has two daily flights, the business seats they have are adequate, probably best if you are traveling as a pair. Meals/inflight service isn't so great, nor is the IFE but they do have wifi on pretty much every sCO 777 at this point.  Lounge at EWR is nothing special, Dan Lounge at TLV is also nothing special. 

DL is probably best if you are flying Y or a solo J traveler.  Wifi is more hit or miss.

Why didn't you pick a middle seat?

I flew business with El Al, Delta, United.

El Al service/food is the best, Delta's seats are great and United seats are ok but service is economy style.

The seats were taken by the time I booked and I didn't realize how Important that would be. Based on the Usair flight I thought it would be the same...boy was i wrong.....

Ime united and us airways j was good service and very comfortable.
Usairways was more private feeling then united especially if you have a window seat .

Don't think DL's 777 seat is any better than UAs.

Why not? Aisle access is nothing by you?

So sit in the middle. The actual seat itself on UA is arguably more comfortable than DLs.
