Which is the better product

787 or 777 in J?

Flying Mia to cdg, nothing direct so my options are stop on PHL 787 and depart 9pm I like the cdg arrival time at 10:30am (us 5:30am) figuring I'll sleep

JFK  is 777 departs 5:30 pm but gets to Paris 7am


Airline?

unbundled J is def. an interesting concept - would love to see it on transatlantic routes.

this could be big, TBD if fares will actually come down.

never going to happen. It's a way of raising prices without raising prices... Like basic economy, like introducing an FF tier, etc....

Tell me about it. My biggest pet peeve. Paying $1,200 for a transatlantic ticket and getting charged for baggage. They should cap it at $500. We paid $349 for transatlantic tickets as recently as 2016. Full baggage included.

Of course it is Delta that is leading the charge off the cliff.

Couldn't find any recent reviews on DDF for Asiana Business.

Can anyone give me some insight?

I've flown ANA and EVA to far east. How does Asiana compare?

TIA

Both 1-2-1 layout so I don't think there would be a big difference, I would go with LAN since US carriers tend to have inferior service
