AFAIK, long-haul flights on CO and UA have a mid-flight or pre-arrival snack and Y on the 777s and 752s have AVOD that features up to date movies. The 767s have 8 channels on a loop. Oh, and all of the TATL planes have power in Y (EmPower on the 767s and 110v on the 757s and 777s).
Smisek has already talked about bringing the UA longhaul fleet up to snuff.
Agree. Anyone who's flown CO's C international service knows it knocks the socks off UA's, both soft and hard products! The only reason UA sells international F and C is because many American corps and the federal government "buy/fly American". Even LH's old F seats are enhanced by the soft product which all European and Asian carriers offer, but no American one does.
