The same way once you fly J you can't bring yourself to fly Y again, the same is true with F - once you fly F you can't bring yourself to fly J again, it's an entire different experience.

F is nice but not needed on a 12 hour flight.

Almost anyone will fly J on a 12 hours, but many even if you paid them $500 they wouldn't fly Y.
I believe it's just the tax. Some places have said YQ as well, but it still comes out cheaper than 10%.
Just the tax, no YQ.

Which is better: Jetihad F or EY J A380? (obviously if F on the A380 opens a few days before departure we'd switch to that, but for now...)?

I would think that F must have an edge compared to the J product but Ill let others with actual experience comment.

This may be blasphemous... But I actually would choose A380 J vs. Jetihad F.

I'm excited to try EY A380.

But you aren't getting the full A380 experience in J vs the best treatment there is on Jetihad F. Are there any specific reasons for why you'd choose J over F?

So should I though in that if I take Jetihad F I can connect to AA A321T J, whereas if I take A380 (either J or F) I'd have to stop for the NYC-LAX leg, and most likely change airports (JFK-->LGA or EWR). Obviously all that's fully changeable pending availability, but with AA non-stop availability not all that great about opening up close in, I'm not counting on it. Now if the A380 was in F, I'd put up with an airport change, but is it will worth it for EY J on A380?

Just a personal choice. The F on Jetihad looks a bit tired, whereas the J on EY a 380 is top 3.
