United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - A340-300 (Codeshare) vs UA 757-200 - Which is Better for Transatlantic Y Class?

Which is a better United Airlines plane for international travel on Economy Class.?

UA does not fly A343

UA has an A343?

Probably a codeshare on LH or LX.

Probably a codeshare on LH or LX.

mostly likely and therefore no E+

OP is probably looking at a code share. LH flys 343's under United flight numbers. OP, Where are you flying to/from? I would tale a LH343 over a UA 757

cant believe Im saying this but if I can get E+ confirmed Id Grab the UA 752 any day over LH in Y! better IFE and leg room!!!

the last time I flew LH in Y I stood the whole way or downed a few beers in the club so that Id knockout 1-2-3 and not realize that I have no leg room (connecting 4 hr flight)

But I give a ^^ to LHs clubs over UAs

btw I dont care for LHs C seats either

If you can snag an exit row seat, I would absolutely opt for the 343. I find the quieter, wider cabin to be much more comfortable on longhaul flights. I prefer the (generally) more professional attitude of the flight attendants on LH, but YMMV.

If it's between non E+ on LH vs E+ on UA, I would probably just do UA. Of course, it depends also on how long your connections are, when you're flying, etc.

Ua 752 e+ > lh/lx 343 y > ua 752 y

FWIW, food and overall service on LH is going to be better, and there's no charge for beer/wine. I found the Y seating on their B744 and A340-600 to be fine (though I am not a tall man) and not really better or worse than a UA E+ seat. Unsure of the A343 but I would imagine it's the same seating as their other widebody fleet.

I'll never forget the LH FA who upon seeing my horror at being served a fish course (I had requested a gluten-free meal, and absolutely despise fish) whisked it away and quickly brought me a nice beef course from C, saying with some obvious pride that "NObody goes hungry on Lufthansa!" Heh.

Probably a codeshare on LH or LX.

I suppose there's a chance the OP is comparing SK also, in which case I'd take the 757 with E+. The SK seats are extra-tiny.

Damn those skinny Scandinavians ;)

Ua y+>lx y>ua y>lh y

Ua y+>lx y>ua y>lh y

LX Y + alcohol>UA Y+ :p

*A Gold can usually get the exit row seats in either LH or LX A330; then there is no comparison, food service is much better than on UA, drinks are complimentary, service in general is very professional. Squeezed in a middle seat, well that's another story altogether.

I would tend to say LH/LX exit > UA E+ > LH/LX Y > UA E-

Wide body over single aisle for me any day.....I'm 6"11 I need leg room and headroom when I stand....I am so over boinking my head on the monitors!
