However, I just flew UA last week IAD-SAN-IAD and was kind of shocked at how badly the domestic F experience has degraded over the past few years, so that has me a little leery. I have not flown UA internationally since the "Business First" thing and refurbished(?) C seats were unveiled and am wondering how it compares to the BA product. Any input would be appreciated!
