New York to London in May - which carrier?
Here is the question: I have to go for a short trip to London. I have milage accounts with UA and LH (so basically Star alliance). Which airline to take? With BA I don't get miles and they frequently loose luggage, I never used Virgin (so I am curious - but no Miles). With United I have to go via DCA, with LH via FRA (and their quality got poorer and poorer) and with Swiss via Zurich (or Geneva - but good quality). With US Airways its via Philly and don't even get me started with that airport... Since it is a short trip of few days I am considering upgrading Eastbound to Business.
Any tips, ideas (with respect to routing, departure/arrival, in flight entertainment, pricing). I have never used UA on transcontinental, always LH, Swiss, BA. And no - Singapore is not an routing option (unfortunatly) ;-)
I usually go EK to Europe (my parents live in Hamburg) but they will stop in April their service JFK - HAM.
