What are Flyertalker's preferences?
TG is now flying the 77W on that route. That's the winner as far as I'm concerned.
1. Equivalent hard product TG vs. UA.
2. Better service on TG.
3. Avoid PEK connection (most delayed major airport in the world).
4. If your connection's long enough, enjoy the *A lounge at TBIT.
Watch also for OZ to open space on OZ202 (A380).
