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.
So I booked the 2 class 777 and they just changed the plane to the 3 class 777.

But my assigned seat is in first class now.

I'll agree about CX's seat. But I still think the bed and bedding on QF beats CX by a considerable margin.

LH F 747 ain't shabby neitha'.
Will humbly disagree with this.

I don't think anyone other than AJK has found the QF F bed to be better than CX F.

IIRC, I've posted a few links in the past of people who agree.

I flew CX F JFK-YVR 4 years ago, and LAX-SYD QF F this year, QF was excellent, slept for over half the flight straight. Can't remember the CX one very well, though the flight time of only 5.5 hrs vs 14.5 hrs, definitely make it harder to get good sleep.

But it is THE perfect flight to utilize the bed on.

Also, IIRC, you haven't even flown QF F A380! How are you comparing CX F to QF A380 F without having sampled both?  ???

Actually, I think JFK>YVR is timed horrendously for using the bed.

Where did you specify A380 until now?
Regardless, all of the comparison TRs I've read say CX F beats QF A380F.

Having flown both products to Australia, I prefer the comfort of the CX F bed over QF F.

Anyone else?

How could I be taking about anything else? I've only flown A380. Unlike some people, I don't compare products I've never flown

Now I'm supposed to keep track of which planes you've flown on?
You said QF F. I've flown QF F twice, I'm not talking blind here.

99% of people say CX F seat and bed is better. Really in a league of its own as far as comfort.
Doesn't have fawning FAs, showers, doors, BYOK, etc.
But in the end of the day it's about the seat and bed comfort IMHO. Great PJs round out the product.

Only 6 first class seats on Cathay as opposed to 14 on Qantas.
It's a world of difference.
