I like to go PE eastbound, C westbound so contemplating LH PE eastbound, UA C westbound. My rationale is UA C on the westbound for distancing in the single window seat vs. LH‘s 2-2-2. Though I have no doubt the LH soft product is superior, I’d be fine just grabbing a few sandwiches in FRA for the journey.
Any insights/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
"I like to go PE eastbound C Westbound" --my preference is the exact opposite! I can't sleep in PE/E seats, so need C on the overnight flights to Europe. Coming back on the day time flights, PE is fine for me, and I've split the difference in the past.
Maybe it's my age (50s) -- I used to be able to sleep sitting upright in an E seat, but no longer, alas!
