333 is better but it's not worth an extra stop.

Thanks!

Direct is also cheaper in this case. I just felt from reviews that the 333 seemed much nicer.

OS

LH seat is wider per seatguru, but 2-2-2 instead of 1-2-1 on OS.

Or 2-2 on the 748 upper deck.

777 is a bit roomer, 787 is newer. I'd probably choose 787 (and will) having already flown 777.

Hoping JFK AUH A380 F opens!!!

Don't hold your breath.

When are you flying?

Yeah I'm aware about the EY F A380 deal, I booked JFK AUH F  77W for Jan 25th from a pre deval, called AA 800 local number and they were able to see and  book on a Guest award.

QR J 350 vs. EY J 787?

As far as I know, both offer PJs, mattress pads, and amenity kits.

So what's the basis?

Separately, would you splurge for F if it were open? 70k vs 115k.

I'd do QR J unless EY F opened up in which case Id switch to that.

Qatar consistently wins close to everything there is to win in the Business Space making it most likely the best J experience there is out there.

The basis is that 787 J looked decent, and QR A350 J looks awesome.

Yes, I would. Despite the fact that they "forgot" our KSML.

Personally, I disagree. I think the ambiance and aesthetic of the new EY "Business Studio" looks beautiful and elegant. Even more than QR.  And that's coming from someone who likes the QR color scheme.

All that said, I think we're going to do QR A350.
