I am looking at my YVR-EWR trip. Since the route is not serviced by a 787 until June and my flight is likely between April 28th and May 1st. (I dont feel like spending 25000 points on a narrowbody 319 AC J product)

What would you guys choose?
Via YUL from YVR on a A330 with AC
or UA
Via ORD on a 737-800/900(but new biz class i think?) with UA

Thanks
I'm one of the UA fans on this thread, but if we're talking J-class here I'd definitely go with AC.

...although if I was going AC I'd just fly the YVR - EWR nonstop. Narrowbody & and no lie-flats for sure, but great schedule and no need to tromp through security twice and US CBP is out of the way at the beginning. Plus adding a connection adds your changes for delay. When it comes to EWR-YVR all that 319 does is fly back and forth on that route day after day, with any issues fixed over night.
