I can't seem to get the search function to work on this forum to check this out.

Could someone direct me to a link or comments RE United's business class food, comfort, IFE, upgrade difficulty etc. (pros and cons)? If anyone on this forum has also flown NW WBC to compare with it, that'd be great too. Thanks in advance!

UnitedBusiness weakest points are the seats which are are rather old and the cabin crew (often inconsistent).

On the more positive side, UnitedBusiness offers great food, newly redesigned amenity kits, and an overall comfortable experience.
