Why - if you are a UA elite - would you even contemplate riding in QF's 'generous' legroom when you can have E+ for free on UA ?

Unless you pay up for premium Eco, it is torturous to ride QF coach on such long legs.

Sure their IFE s somewhat less ancient than UA's, the FAs are rude in a different manner, and the food is inedible for different reasons ... but it's the same old, dying bird and no legroom whatsoever.
