Unless you like your knees wedged up into your nostrils, like what happens in Third World Traveller on BA.

At least with UA you've got a possibility of a seat with a bit of leg roon.

And from what I've heard, UA economy isn't too bad (I upgrade with miles so usually escape it).

I guess you could go with AA (provided you don't get an A300), but it's $5 for a drink!

UA Economy isn't too bad ***IF*** you get a seat in Economy Plus, otherwise it's just as crap as any Coach seat BA has, except that on BA you get a competent flight crew (average well under UA's 60 years old), reasonably decent food, a smallish amenity kit and personal TV in EVERY seat, not just on their newer 777's and Airbus planes...
