In J, UA offers direct aisle access from all seats on, whereas on LX many seats have a seatmate and lack direct aisle access. In Y, UA is 2-3-2 compared to 2-4-2 (A330/A340) or 3-4-3 (777) on LX.
Thanks for the insight. I flew on an old 767 overseas a few years ago (DL, not UA) and wasn't a fan ... there's something about those worn-out planes that make sitting in them for 8+ hours unpleasant. If I flew solo, I'd probably favor UA/Polaris, but flying as a family, I'm likely going to be deciding between Premium Economy on UA and the 2-4-2 Y cabin on LX.
