Clay, More room in coach is not on A300s and B757s. Newer fleet? What newer fleet? Those Md80s? They are the oldest ones in the fleet. Yes, they have 737-800s but you know Airbus A320 series of United are new too.. Alliance with BA? I would always fly LH over BA. Mileage Plus has been selected the best mileage program for god knows how long. Untied.com is NOT by United employees.

And here's for AA: -More legroom in coach -More flights -Newer fleet -Alliance with British Airways -Better mileage plan (faster accruing) (Oh btw, I've never had to pay for headsets on AA) Here's a link of *UA EMPLOYEES* talking about their airline: http://www.untied.com/ Everyone's got their reasons for liking one airline over another.

Yes, Everyone knows that I am biased in favor of UA. My main reasons are : - Ch. 9 - Star Alliance with Lufthansa (I can take them all the way to IST) - Economy Plus (I am a big UA fan, if you know what I mean) - Airbus equipment - Free headsets in coach If you'd like to follow the thread here's the topic from Flyertalk.com on why people like UA: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3D349828 BAHA Fan of my weekly commutes on United
