We flew coach one way and business the other. For meal choices in Business, no consideraton of UA status. For lounge, we got in anyway as Star Alliance. Certainly no special arrangements avail for seating in coach. Not combined yet at all. I would not expect to get upgrades either. That I would really like. Looks like 2012 for that. Our luggage met the Continental requirements and they don't charge for first bag in international anyway.
