Some of the travel bloggers have said half seriously that they value UA because they get lots of time to sleep.

Maybe if instead of a travel experience you want to just chill out, lie down, and ignore everything for 12 hours until you're at your destination -- and if you're flying with a companion -- then maybe UA 2-2-2 J is perfectly fine.

You could imagine United making this their motto: "We'll get out of your way and let you sleep! We have enough service."
