But then I see this photo:

Ahhhh

Difference in price is so great, I would go red

+1

[MEIR613]

I've done both back to back. The new is definitely a lot nicer, but not worth the extra $$ and miles, especially since you've tried it.

If you are worried about sleeping, I had an amazing sleep on the old 747.

[AJK]

Good to know. Haven't yet done the new 747, only the A380, but as you guys seem to agree, the price difference seems to make red the winner.

[MEIR613]

Also, on the new 747 if you are traveling with someone you will probably want the the 2 seats in the middle of the plane which are adjacent to each other, but are smaller then the other seats.

Yeah, I'd be happy to sacrifice for smaller seats to get the new 747, but red most likely means old, unless we get reaaaally lucky. As of right now, it's Old 747 to New A380.

Another would you rather poll for 2015:

Return to MLE for 5 nights in Conrad or do 5 nights in Hilton BOB?

BOB. Do they accept your scuba license?

Yeah, PADI is internationally recognized.

Why the question of repeat then?

Conrad is unquestionably a nicer hotel.

My wife now loves Conrad's after Conrad USM and Conrad DPS.

And same ol' refrain: planes are nicer to MLE

How long will this game last?!!!!!

JAL to fly EK F NYC-DXB-BKK is 155k RT.
AS to fly EK F NYC-DXB-BKK is 100k OW.

What are your thoughts on both options with added flights from BKK to NZ and assuming using AS, return to NYC.

Matter of preference and/or more EK F flights if flying JAL?

Or, am i off somewhere...

[AJK]

CX slowly removing F from ORD<>HKG routes. Going from 3/3 flights to 1/3 flights by mid 2015.

[Dan]

Sign of the times.
I wonder if there will even be an F cabin in 10 years from now.  Probably just on a couple routes and that'll be it.

[AJK]

So it seems.

However, IMO, there will always be an F class on long-haul, high-yield, premium markets, like JFK/LAX<>HKG; NYC<>UAE; etc.

I think that's exactly what I wrote

[AJK]

I'm just opining that it'll be definite as opposed to "probably."
