Thanks, that helps clarify. It seems from the seat map that some seats are facing backwards, does that make any sense? It seems to be AA metal, not BA... Flight 106

Yes. On the 767 and 787, they have front and rear facing seats

Out of curiosity, what date does Finnair fly JFK-HEL in a 777-200?

Interesting. That flight isn't operated by Finnair, rather it's operated by Euroatlantic airways. Since that is the case I would definitely say Aeroflot is a better option, although neither planes offer lie flat seats. You can look up about the Euroatlantic plane here http://www.euroatlantic.pt/en/blog/portfolios/oeing-777-200-cs-tfm-30c/

Thanks. I missed that it's not operated by Finnair. This chartered flight seems inferior.

Anyone ever fly the 3-class CX 77W (no first)?  How's the J compared to the 4 class?

Keep EK F if you just flew EY F A380 and never tried EK F, just knock it off your list.

Though EY F A380 is definitely better

So your saying anyone who has never tried EK F A380 or EY F A380, should try first EY F A380 first?, based on all the TR I've read this is correct just confirming, cause I have an EK F upcoming in FEB but Ill change when EY F opens up at last minute as AA will increase the miles.

EK F is an experience not to be missed, but is dwarfed by EY F A380,  so if you have a chance to grab a EY F A380 seat, grab it.
