Nope.
My best F class was from SFO-HKG in CX F on their 747.

Ryanair must be the best.
Their toilet is even more comfy than their seats!
Not even Emirates 380 or Cathay First can say that.

My top 10 experiences have been:

1) CX F on the 747
2) SQ F on the 747
3) EY F on A340-500
4) EK F on A380
5) TK F on 9W 777
6) LX F on A330-300
7) KE F on 747
BA F on 747 (new config)
9) LH F on 747
10)LY F on 747

I found that the TK F (gone now) and EY F are prety much the same, difference is EY service much better. However- both were better than CX F as far as the seat...What makes you rank them both below? Curious.

TK F and EY F are not the same. Maybe you are confusing with TG F (on the 77W). EY F is much glitzier than TK F and was a much more comfortable bed.

I found the CX F seat to be perfect for pretty much everything and the service level something that only SQ can attain

No I meant TK not Thai. The Jet Airway lease. Both have it closed off and I think that makes it so much private and easier to sleep. I do agree that CX and SQ service kicks (and thats with flying SQ in J), but I like the hard product of EY....

TG F wasnt a closed off suite if I remeber correctly...maybe it wasnt the 77W, i think it was though. - I would say TG "service" would come in 3rd place...

TG now has the 9W leased planes. Only thing similar to Etihad was the doors and smelly passengers.

Not when you have the whole F cabin to yourself

CX F 747 > SQ R A380? Wowza.

(Fully enclosed suite vs. not, double suite vs. not, and two beds merged into one vs. not)

AA F on the (old?) 777 > CX J 777? (Was that even lie-flat?)

And UA J 777 > US J A330? (I thought the new US J A330 seat was better basically the same seat as the CX J 777 seat?)

1.
SQ 380>CX 747: Service. "Coolness" factor of being in a couples suite.
CX 747>SQ 380: Seat comfort. Bed comfort. Nose of the plane seating. Pajamas. Scotch.

2.
AA 777 F makes it into a bed for you, gives pajamas, and you can dine together. CX does not.
Both were lie-flat.

3.
US service and food just stinks. However if you are traveling alone you'll want US. My rankings are all as a couple.

Helpful info.

Looking fwd to CX F (on either the 777 or 747)

But, with respect to food, I don't even count it as a factor as a religious Jew. To me, its hard product (seat/entertainment), soft product (service), food, in that order (with food being a distant third).

Agreed. That's why CX 747>SQ A380, all comes down to seat+bed comfort.

I didn't find the US seat as comfortable as the CX seat. IIRC the CX seat had better controls and footspace.
Also poor service+poor food will cost you points.
And even with kosher food any airline serving Stogel's radioactive crap that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy is going to lose points.

i guess it depends how often you fly... i never had a problem
2 thoughts for you-
jet points are not worth to much but if you fly often pay coach and always get upgraded to first if your platinum then free upgrade to first (they never deduct the points...
you can always use them on partner airlines as well

Could you clarify what Platinum you are referring to? And what these upgrades are about? Thanks

Fair enough.

I just don't get why Stogel's is still in business. I mean, the only thing I can come up with is that they are significantly cheaper than, e.g., Hermolis.
