Not so sure about that piece of advice. UA has 80 plus seats on that flight in E+ configuration which is about 5-6 inches of extra legroom. That is a big difference. I would even give a nod to UA over CX in the regular Y - my recent flights to SGN and MNL out of HKG were really, really tight.

CX has it on entertainment by a long shot. Food wise, I'd give the nod to CX, though again, I am far from always impressed with their inter-asia Y fare. UA's food can be OK in Y.

UA defiitely has 'em beat on the rude FA's though!! Though there are some nice ones too.

If you want legroom, UA is probably your better choice, especially if you can swing into E+, which should be possible
