I’m also not a fan of the short East Coast – Europe flights from IAD or JFK. A lot of FTers would smack me upside the head for not taking that up.
Definately not me, even though UA's food maybe subpar, but new F is way better than LH old F. LH old F have tiny PTV screen and no AVOD, no privacy at all. And since it is a day flight, you will only get PJ top but not PJ bottom.

Isn't DL prohibit its members to redeem F on skyteam partners ? All you are going to get is J right ? I don't know if the rules had changed or not, but a friend of mine switched from DL to UA just because of that reason.
KE J is ok, the food is average, OZ is much better when it come to food and service.
