when in y (almost all my flights intl):
sq
oz
tg
tk
ua
nh
ac
lh
sa
et
wn

other than the new tk 773 avod (with live streaming bbc and sports and whatnot) ac has best entertainment and screens of any carrier above (i don't want the latest transformers, i want various series and movies) and good bar selection in intl, but i'm also with mp so all things being equal, i take ua, even though ua first is awful compared to ac j. and ac's j is really good, at least last time i flew in 2013. but ua hands out upgrades within n america like candy and honestly, the service in j with ua has always been better than ac...maybe because i'm always dealing with iah and ewr base. oh and ua has e+.

saa has decent catering, lazy flight crew that will give you 5x bottles of wine and water when you ask, and 34" pitch but nothing else.
