Where are you flying from? Texas?

For obvious reasons I have done the US to London thing a number of times plus I used to be a travel agent.

I tend to fly from Philly or Newark.

I liked United a good deal primarly because of the slightly wider seat pitch than the other airlines I have been on.

US Air suprised the heck out of me as actually being very good on the transatlantic routes. Something I would't have expected from the internal service. They had by far the best inflight entertainment system of any of the airlines I have been on.

I really didn't like Virgin at all. Despite a decent inflight entertainment system it was too cramped and the food was awful. However, if you are bringing kids then they are very kid friendly.

However, I totally found by accident, when I had to fly home in an Emergency, that Air France and Continental are great on the transatlantic. Okay, so you have to change in Paris if you go Air France (but you can usually get a stopover in it) but they were great with very good food. I was traveling right after sept 11 and flew back on the day we starting bombing so it was a tense time and we ended up on a continental plane on the way out to New York. Which, amazingly was also very good on the transatlantic route.

If you are flying from Texas Continental has one if its hubs in houston.
