When I search united.com — it will only give me the legs ZNY–ZRH/FRA legs on UA metal. Any reason to avoid these flights as I would rather fly LX/LH? Also, would these flights be covered under the UA flexible booking policy if purchased from united.com even if they don't have UA codes??
Booking the ticket through UA can cause some complications, but IMO it's generally worth it these days because you do get the benefit of UA's flexible booking policy, which is far more generous than either LH or LX's.
