In a former life I used to travel extensively across both ponds in business or first, and I have to say the new UA Polaris product (business class) outdid most First Class experiences. Never thought I'd see the day that an American carrier delivered a hands-down better experience than an Asian flag carrier!
Three weeks ago we did a vacation pass round trip to London on the 767-300 and got business class Polaris and I wasn't greatly impressed. Both ways were day trips.

On the other hand, it sure beat any seat in steerage.

FWIW, F/A service, IMO, was very good (or better) both ways.
