The only thing I like about UA is the extra 6 inches of legroom in E+.
CO does
NOT give free booze on
ANY intercontinental flights. UA gives free booze on
ALL flights to/from Asia and within Asia.
You're view of UA as a no-frills airline is simply
incorrect. In fact, if you read about them in the press, you'll see that they are the one legacy airline that's trying to differentiate themselves as a "high-frills" carrier. See, for instance,
p.s.,
exPlus,
E+,
domestic First Class service, etc...
