UA doesn't have Starnet blocking anymore. One of the few plusses after the merger was that they kept the CO award engine and stopped blocking alliance partners.

US on the other hand ... can't book LH F with US awards. Chalk this up to easy "Buy Miles" promotions.

I agree on US' award rates ... I did 120K F to Asia via Europe (and got to fly LX F before they blocked that, as well as TG F). But UA's flexibility in one-way awards/changes after departure beats US.
