Is EY F on Jet airways configured aircraft worth a try or should i avoid it? Is it comparable to EY 77W F?
Let me know how it is if you take it. I'm booked on it in January.

Quote from: Lucky
I’d say my top pick would probably be the Qatar A350, A380, or 787, followed by any Etihad plane, followed by the rest of the Qatar fleet.

Interesting. I'd love to read peoples thoughts (with experience) on this. Then again, I wonder how many have flown the QR F/J on the A380.

He's not talking about F. And I'd agree with him.

Fair enough. Which QR's have you flown? Would your ranking change drastically for F?

I've done QR J. And for F it'd be almost the opposite. Any version EY F would beat any version of QR F.

So J CPT-NYC in a couple of months should be a pretty decent AA redemption with one leg on the A350 and one on the 787.

EK J or EY F operated by Jet Airways?

Quote by Lucky in regards to F vs F:

Even though flying the two airlines “feels” very different, I’ve realized that they’re much more similar than I was expecting. Emirates comes out ahead in terms of the lounges and onboard amenities, while Etihad comes out ahead in terms of the seat. The rest are more or less tied, even if the experiences are quite different. I suppose they’re “equal but different” in many ways.


That being said I can hardly imagine (from reviews and comments read) Jet being that much worse that the answer shouldn't clearly be F > J.

Lucky was referring to EY metal not 9Wthe metal.

In any case, even 9Wthe metal I'd still go with F.

They don't give (i believe), but if you ask nicely, they will likely give you.

Are the mugs new? If they're washed, how are they kosher?

That's awesome. I'll have to ask nicely. They look like awesome mugs though.

Does Thai A380 F have any major advantage over the 747?
