But don't get me wrong, I appreciate this set of observations for comparing UA and QF's products. Thanks!
My observation also applies to NZ on the transpacific run from AKL. Their first drink comes rarely comes later than 20 minutes after wheels up .
In contrast,I have had to wait over an hour on United (usually sit in rows 15 or 16) and we are not talking about a lot of turbulence .
