Should've booked British Airways to London

For those of you that want info on USAir long haul flights I just completed a trip from PHL to Heathrow and it was a horrible experience. I was in coach, the food was yuck, the airline staff were testy and rude. I've flown British Airways for this flight before and upgraded to world traveller plus where I had individual flight entertainment, frequent drinks, and decent service. USAir charges for everything even the head phones for the silly movies that were shown, one was for kids and the other was a chick flick on weddings. I woke up in the early a.m and they were showing a program on horse vets, some guys arm was up a horses' butt. After that, they showed some other random program that comes on ABC. First class seats looked comfy but there was no IFE and it did not seem worth it for me to upgrade 1,000 for a roundtrip. I couldn't use points to upgrade because the flight was less than $1400 (or something like that). There is just no rhyme or reason for how USAir does business. I have stopped flying as much for business and I wanted to get more points but next time I will skip the points for comfort.
