UA vs Thai HKT-IAD

Hey all,

Wanted to get your take on a upcoming award fix option. Currently tickets on UA in F going from HKT-BKK (Thai Biz), BKK-PEK (Thai Biz), PEK-IAD (UA F). Booked on a saver fix which helps conserve pts.

There is another flight that looks like it leaves a day earlier:
HKT-BKK (Thai Biz) BKK-LHR (Thai F, Listed as an A340-600 on Thai site).

I believe that our flight to BKK via FRA is on one of Thai's updated planes (flight is Nov 27). But it looks like the BKK-LHR flt is on an older aircraft. So.... better to fly UA F and stay on the beach an extra day or Thai F via London with the change to UA F there and lose a day?

Thanks for any tips or experiences you can offer.
