lol I would love to see your formula.
And AA would be the best place to search for it?
That is something that only 2.94% people out there know. Not a good chance for you to be part of them.

Since when does LH have 787-8? Don't think they do.

You're probably referring to 747-8.

Personally, I'd say A380, but PlatinumGuy disagrees:

which is better lax-fra lh748 or their a380
748
I'd say A380.

Strictly I'm terms of hard product, you'd pick an F, and it'd be ranked 1, 2, 3, 7.
Where will BA F be in the list? (given that I'll swallow the YQ... Compare to less miles needed)

Well, I'll tell you this much. Its probably an exception what happened but a stewardess on BA F refused to bring a friend of mine a (non glass) cup for a hot drink. She told him you can go take it yourself from economy. We dont have this here in first

BA - and AA - are only showing business class available NYC-SJU on AA Boeing 757. Is it worth the extra 10k Avios, or should I wait for economy to open up ?

Consider it a $100 (worth of miles) upgrade

The only one I haven't flown is Japanese airlines, and I do agree with Lucky's list and order.

Why Japan in the winter? Go in September for the Sumo tournament when it's not freezing cold.
Why not fly one outbound and one return?

Japan won't be my primary destination.

Plan is JFK-DXB-MLE-BKK-USM-BKK-NRT-JFK

Lets see what AJK thinks of Lucky's Top 6

We generally agree, though he's flown substantially more than me.

Though, all things considered, there is NO question I'd rather fly QF F A380 > JL F 777.

Also, if I had to choose, I'd pick OZ A380 > CX 777, but I rank them 6 and 7, so it's a toss up.

The only one I haven't flown is Japanese airlines, and I do agree with Lucky's list and order.

He didn't rank in order.

With the above in mind, what do I consider to be the all around best first class products, in no particular order?

You're probably referring to 747-8.

Personally, I'd say A380, but PlatinumGuy disagrees:
Yep, I meant 747-8. Thanks for your response.
Now, I still can't make my decision. I'll ask, whom should I trust AJK or PlatinumGuy? :)

Are you talking about J or F?
