Ord-nrt on ua award ticket-worth it to change planes to fly non-ua metal?
There are award tickets in y for ua non stop ord-nrt. But not for ANA ord-nrt. Is it worth while to book a connection to fly ANA on the tpac leg? Are there any options involving the A380? Thanks.

NH economy has better service than UA. But NH doesn't have the extra legroom of E+.

In C or F, I will always change to one of the Asian carriers over UA. In Y, though, E+ trumps everything else. If you do not have E+ and are traveling in regular economy, ANA service and food are better.

In C it depends. NH still flys sliders into ORD whereas UA is flat-bed. Depends on what's important to you, but I would always take the flat-beds on a flight of that length.

Muslim meal? What is in that?
I did the special meal one time and then liked what everybody else had better. Lol. I thought I was at an advantage. Never thought about a Muslim meal.
Wish I could order a pizza . . .
