I love the flat seats, the LHR T-5 lounges (well, at least until the recent "enhancements"), and the Chase 241 certs that allow me to fly from SFO to Europe in C/F comfort for 100k miles + $2000. The IFE isn't bad either.

Also the structure of the EQP may enable me to get status faster than I could on other OW carriers. And I like the fact that I have never been transferred to an ICC!
