Totally different seat.

For 7.5K, I'd give it a shot.

F:



J:


If you travel as couple, I'd recommend J, in F you'll have a hard time communicating.

i agree- as a couple its better to fly J but alone fly F.  in october i was in F and i was the only passenger.  J and F have the same service, only difference is the seat.  i find it harder to find J award seats on jfk lax route

Is this a toss up for you? Doesn't matter the extra stop or miles and money needed?

F seat was nice, but will probably go with J next time. Wasn't that great for me (though i was coming off CX F).

Just flew both.

Definitely worth the 7.5k miles.

Business is nice, however, not as private. Meal was really nice in first.

Seat was as comfortable both in F and J.

Also, first gets a few more hot towels than business.

Doors > No Doors, IMO.

A380 > 777, IMO.

Both purportedly have excellent food bibimbap.

OZ FTW.

777 is in question.

Food is not relevant unless there's a significant difference in KSML (which I doubt).

did both. actually preferred the ana for small reason but maybe important to you: oz wouldnt let me have more than 2 or 3 drinks of whiskey. in fairness to them they may have thought i was drunk
didnt hurt that my ana flight only had one other passenger in f so felt private without the doors

I've never, ever had an FA in F (or any other cabin) turn down my request for another drink.

You must have been, or appeared to be, visibly inebriated.
