Depending on the plane, there's huge differences. You can't compare the 777 J to 777 F even without the shower that the A380 F offers.

Aha. Tough choice. Flying to OGG mid July and deciding if its worth the gamble of booking HA. Easier to find availability then UA.

FWIW (not much), no KSML in HA.

Good to know but wouldn't sway me if I knew I was in their new cabin.

so is it a yes flying back from dxb to jfk  I cant decide if I should go business or first

[sam28]

its going to be the A380 ?

[Platinum]

Definitely worth going first.

[sam28]

[Yehoshua]

if my friend is going business can he come visit me in first ?

Yes.

Officially not. A person from a lower cabin cannot come to a higher cabin, but vice versa is allowed.

Maybe not officially, but I asked the F FA on JL if my friends in Y could come visit and they said, "sure!," so my friends came a stayed maybe 10 minutes.

[AJK]

Crew can do whatever it wants, but generally, a pax from a lower cabin cannot enter a higher cabin; perhaps the rule changes if that pax is invited or the crew allows it.

Im assuming it shouldn't be to hard to get them to heat up my BYOK, correct?

[Yehoshua]

It won't be hard if the FAs are Hawaiian. They're very friendly people.

[SrulyP]

Would AA transcon F FA heat up my BYOK?

+1
IME they allowed it for a short while but eventually asked the J pax to leave.

Anyone fly on BA 789 F. How is it? Better than CX J?

[AJK]

Of course it's better than CX J.

I feel like I'm a broken record, but--perhaps aside from very rare exceptions, like SQ A380 J > KU 777 F--there is simply no such thing as a Y cabin > J cabin, and no J cabin > F cabin, when factoring both soft and hard products.

I have very limited experience, but IMHO QR J > UA F (777)

[AJK]

Personally, I don't think so; it may be close, but I'd definitely take UA F > QR J.
