First of all, my apologies, the CO routing goes through IAH (not IAX - bad place to make a typo!).

My end destination is HSV. Leaving from SFO there is no option but to connect at some carrier's hub. Sorry I should have been more clear. In any case I'm stuck on a CRJ for the second leg of the trip. The choice, besides overpriced UA, among *A is between CO and US (thus SFO-IAH or SFO-CLT).

I learned by the UA forum moderator's decision, that US is NOT the airline of choice on FT - since I was trying to decide between the two carriers (see the title of my thread) and was redirected on CO.

WiFi on US is quite appealing (but a gamble), although with no AC power in Y it would not last very long.

Reading the UA board I learn that *A elites no longer get much in terms of seating with CO (new program $$ for exit rows).

Can't wait for the turkey dog...
