It really depends on your planned itinerary and availability/mileage cost with those two airlines' award programs. For example if one has availability in a cheaper award class then it's a no-brainer. Perhaps it's time for myb821's eurotrip planning thread?

I'd say stick with United, as BA to Europe has crazy fuel surcharges. Though it's hard to predict how CO/UA FF program will evolve over the next year or so.

Sounds right. Should be $0.60 per thousand with a max of $99 IIRC.

But then you can't fly on AC without paying $$$, there are MPM issues, and the miles have a soft (1 year) and hard (7 years) expiration policy.
Other than that they're great for J/F awards to Europe, Asia, and Australia.
