I'm looking at a trip later in the year & coach is 30k, UA Bz 50k, and UA F is 67.5k per direction.

I would have the choice, ex-IAD, of a 767 through FRA or a 777 through BRU. The FRA flight is about an hour longer.

I've flown the new Biz seats & enjoy them - but I was wondering are the new F seats that much better? Is the ground/air service that much better?The TV seems better - and the seat is slightly larger.

As I'd be connecting, I'm not sure I'd have the time to use the Arrivals Lounge at FRA, so that's not huge.

I'm a 1k, it's a week long trip, and I'm connecting to intra-EU on LH, likely no bags checked, or 1 at most. Traveling with others, none of whom have status and they'll probably do paid flights or cash out miles for coach. I have about 600k UA miles, so the 12.5 miles aren't really that big of a deal at the end of the day.

Just curious on people's experiences - if this was the old biz class, I'd buy up - or if flying from the west coast - but the new biz class is pretty good, and it's only a quick trip to Europe...I just did ZRH-IAD in Y & was totally fine...

Also - saw availability on Austrian in Biz or Lufthansa in Biz - with the 4 choices (UA Biz or F, Austrian, or LH Biz), which would you take?
