Just to be clear, you’re choosing between an economy seat with extra legroom and a lie flat business class seat with plated meals. Obviously United wins

United by far. You’re talking about a typical economy experience or a business class experience from hub to hub.

Homebody. Plz. You’re literally trying to compare business class to economy. Let’s break down the rules for you:

All else equal and normal conditions:
1) Delta>American>United (American EP here)
2) Delta comfort+>any short haul regional first class
3) Airline with a hub near you>airline with no hub near you


Shitty weather:
American>Delta>United

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS:
Business class trans con>Economy ANY DAY

^Thats what I thought, but I’m hearing good things about Delta C+ on transcon. But with United, I’d get to use United’s lounges at SFO and Newark, which are way better than priority pass

Even though AA sucks overall, I think their transcon lie-flat is a great product too (just used it to get to NY today so see you around Chelsea, OP)

Caveat: some business class routes are shit (e.g., PHL-SFO where it's a marginal upgrade might not be worth the cost. Is the united BC cabin a lie flat?

Between the 752 and the 772 I would choose 752, as there’s a good risk you’d get UA’s 8 across J product, which isn’t very nice. If there’s a 773 doing SFO-EWR, spring for it...it is one of the few planes with the new Polaris seat

Should have Googled it OP.

Thoughts on which one would be a better transcontinental experience?

Depends how much time you have, buddy. EWR will add about an hour each way going to NY and you have higher risk of delay or being assulted and dragged off the plane. Seatwise, United business obviously wins but youd save 2 hours on delta.

All things equal, I would generally pick Delta over United every time. But this is not equal. Comfort plus is still economy

Have to agree with M1- EWR is simply less hassle to get to/from than LGA/JFK, especially with construction and traffic lately. Train>Cab for sure. And, Newark is a United hub...
