Out of curiosity, why? For the suite?

Double bed, new product, rarer product, less opportunity to fly it.

If you had never flown either, would that still be your choice?

Yes.

Interesting.

I haven't found any reviews online, but what I've heard from people who flew it was that it's a very comfortable hard product but the service has a long way to go.

I assume you're not eating the caviar and drinking the Champagne anyway, so isn't hard product paramount? Or are you concerned about how efficiently they unwrap your half-frozen KSML?

Flying as a couple. CX JFK-YVR. F or J?

Only one F seat available and 2 Js. Should I book one F and one J and hope another F opens so I can upgrade (in case it doesn't open I can always switch the F seat with a J pax. I don't think anyone would be mad when I ask them for it...) or, there's no big difference between F and J so I should just stick with J?
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

Big difference. Look at pics.

Easier to talk in J than F, but I'd still shoot for F if it were me.

Big difference! And a chance at that pre-deval. Go for it! (F that is)

Thanks! Very broad question... What are my chances another F opens?

Close in there are chances. Looking now I see some weekend opening this and next week for example.

Haha good point.

As someone who hasn't flown F yet, I'd take a product that is consistently great (and cheaper), over one that could be hit and miss, just for the novelty. But I do understand AJK's way of thinking.

Funny, but there's a huge difference in the way some airlines serve the KSML and the way some just plop it in front of you.

Wow! I didn't know it could happen that quick. I checked every 30 minutes and they did open another F seat! Thanks again! I'm booked in F for 2!

CNX-NYC, TG/LH F, or KE F? KE is obviously a lot cheaper, and I'm told TG food is awful. But the first option I get two try two different F products.
