The difference in service levels and seat comfort on UA and VX are rather stark. If you take a flight on both, you will do VX MCS moving forward...
Yes, I should have clarified I'd pick UA E+ 752. Avoid the 777s.
I haven't flown VX in a while, but last I did MCS was priced more like premium economy, at a significant margin over a regular economy seat (if I recall, $200 or more O/W). Is that still true? Our work travel policy would let me pick UA E+, but not VX MCS if that were the case.
