sUA for me. Better AVOD and FA's that don't go missing after meal service.

What, they can't bear to admit that something sUA had was better than what sCO had, so they continue to offer a substandard product???

I don't know if the hardware sCO uses can take the updated sUA interface. Or if it's some other compatibility issue. Or just a cost of certification issue.

I know we're talking about seats, but in the wintertime I would always opt for the 767 given the troubles UA has had with westbound TATL 757's running out of gas and needing to stop at Gander or Halifax on the longer 757 routes from CGD-IAD, Barcelona, etc.

I am flying business first on the two-class 763 to CDG next week. Would like to change to something more comfortable for sleeping once I'm on board and then back to Paris-appropriate attire upon arrival.
Are the bathrooms on board large enough to change without contortion - or are they the standard, cramped lavs?

My first flight on an updated 764 was a major disappointment - the nice screens had fuzzy pictures in Biz, not nearly as clear as sUA. Had no problem with either interface.
While my one and only trip on a 787 was in coach, I was rather impressed with screen and AVOD was more than adequate. Now my one and only flight on Thai's A380 in First with the giant monster screen OTOH .... (ya, my one off using UA miles
).EmailKid, still mulling over which seat to choose for my Saturday TATL flight.

It's been reported in a different thread that sCO AVOD has hardware limitations and cannot get better picture.

Still accepting suggestions for best seat on 764 - decided on middle row, right now have first row. Any problems with noise / too much light on overnight flight?

If conversations bother you, consider choosing a seat somewhere in the middle - not close to the galley and not close to the economy cabin.

Just remembered, it's a daytime flight, so no worries about having a middle seat to myself. Like to look out the window, so went to 3L instead, I think.
