Thank you! I just Googled the FCL/FCT. All this language is new to me though I am UA Gold. I think the availability is gone now anyway. Guess that is the risk of posting. That said, I could use the miles so am fine not flying First and saving the miles. Separately, how can you tell what kind of seats you have? Am I correct in that not all the 747-400s have that new 1st class seat? It looked like Thai Air also doesn't have its better seats on all its planes so unclear if I would get that too. I flew my mom First on Thai and she had a great seat but not a "room" like someone else I met on this trip.
