I pretty much agree, especially re BA the seats being better. Also, if you have high enough BA or AA or equivalent One World status, you can get the best seats that offer aisle access without having to climb over anybody. In addition, I find that while BA J cabin crews can be inconsistent, they are less so than those of UA and the worst ones are not as bad as UA's.

The one respect in which UA is better is that its IFE is better than that of the older BA seats in terms of selection and screen size and quality. Still, I'd fly BA over UA, even given having to connect on BA.
