Guys, I already have PP on UA, last three years I had average 80K miles flown per year. So I do have *Alliance Gold and I had free E+ seats on UA all those years.

This year situation is different - I had 40K miles flown so far, if there will be no more flights, I might lose Gold status. Also, I'm done with UA after last three years - every single time I thought that it can't get any worse, I was mistaken.

While switching to NH I found that their not so reclining seats are not as bad as rumored, I want to know what are alternatives specifically from the point of comfort.
