Definitely BR.
Also, you can pre-order your meal online.
Last trip, I flew SIN-TPE-SFO on BR in J. I pre-ordered for SIN-TPE, but decided not to for TPE-SFO. The BR lounge agents paged me in the TPE lounge and asked what I wanted for dinner so they could make sure they had it. They thought it was an oversight or an error when I had pre-ordered one meal but not the other.

So the Kool-Aid is green at BR vs. blue at CO, is that what you're saying?

The sounds and tones in Japanese is much more divergent from English than Korean or the Chinese dialects. It's not surprising it's more difficult speaking to NH/JL than the others.

If you're saying buy a Y fare and fly UA BF, I agree.
But if you're suggesting buying a C fare and upgrading to UA GF, I disagree. BR Royal Laurel is better than UA Global First.
