I already booked 3 seats in J. And I wouldn't want to pay 10% for lap child.
very unlikely to get 3 seats in f. Trust me I've been watching cx f for months. That's why I say stick with 2 seats. If you can find a way around paying 10% of the fare. If not cx j is not a bad consolation prize.

You had to mention the elephant in the room?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Flying CNX-JFK, at this point I'm not optimistic that SQ is gonna clear the WL. The two most likely alternatives are KE F, or TG/LH F. I've already done LH F but I'm definitely down for round 2 in the FCT. Thoughts?

I can't speak to LH F because I've never flown it but I just flew KE F last week and it was awesome. Try something new.

TG F out of Thailand is some of THE BEST ground service that exists. (and so is FCT but I do agree with the "try something new" in general)

You can also do flight simulator experience there for 9,900 Thai miles, transferred from citi TYP.

Tough decision..

So it's basically a totally new experience on KE F, or a totally new and amazing ground experience in BKK and then an old experience in LH F/FCT but still amazing.

How many more times will you be traveling out of BKK to get that ground experience?

Furthermore, SQ might clear.

It's down to R3, been on the wl for months.  Not terribly optimistic.

That's a great point about BKK. I think I'm leaning more towards that option.

Is there any difference between the 757-200 and the 777-200 ?

EWR-LAX

I've done the 757 dozens of times but never the 777.

Al Sawfa's hotel rooms are most definitely not overrated IMO especially for an 8 hour overnight in DOH.

The new rule is you only get max 6 hours.

Which part was overrated?

As of when? I was there a month ago  from 11:45p-7:45am and no one said boo.
