Change your answer if EWR-SEA was in J?
Maybe. Didn't you already try NH F?

Yeah, but, then again, I've also done OZ A380... :)

But not as recently. Maybe go back to OZ? It's also a longer flight from LAX-ICN, so more time to enjoy. Plus it's a quieter A380.

NYC-SEA-NRT in UA Y and NH F 773

v.

NYC-LAX-ICN in UA J and OZ F A380?
I think you'll go with NH, so I'll say #1. You were talking about NH F higher than OZ F. Also, NYC-LAX-ICN is I guess more exhausting
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Option 2 assuming NYC-LAX is P.S. service and still OZ F A380 beats NH F 773 IMO.

Don't subject yourself to Y if it does not need to happen.

Should clarify I'm looking at 744. Can't find a single pic online.

Thanks, AJ. You're searching abilities are second to none. I guess that's why they release all the seats on that plane.

Well, that was silly. I should have first asked what plane CA flies JFK-PEK. SeatGuru said 744 (so that's why I asked about the 744), but after tweeting with CA, I now know that they fly the 748, which looks like this:



I think that looks like a respectable F product. So, if this was your first trip to Asia and your first premium product besides UA J, would you grab this flight for the RT since availability is there now, or try to find a different way for one of the legs to try out something else/see a day in another city?

So we want to fly SIN-PEK-HKG in J.

The two options are a CA A330 redeye where sleeping will be key, or an SQ 77W leaving 16:55 arriving 23:00.

Also to keep in mind how much time we'd need in PEK. The above flights are on a Tue, and we plan on leaving on Thu morning on a CA 772.

So, is CA J good for a redeye, or should we take SQ J and just spend 1 day in PEK?
