for either, we would continue to ITM as suggested and is available!!!. we would use either ua F or nh in biz. both are available. since we have no status with anyone, just a ton of miles, we will be ua global first,(available) or nh in biz(i presume nh first is very difficult for poachers). how much of a step down (or is it a step down) is nh biz compared to ua gf? the cost of ua miles are a bit more for me. the ua beds gf on both the 747 and the 777 are fabulous.
