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

You gotta classify the aircraft type.
QR still has angled flat seats on their A330s

[Chapshnell]

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

flying it in a month time IYH, we'll let ya know

Seems like HA finished refitting their first A330, unfortunately for me it seems like its starting use on the west coast route.

I feel like I'm a broken record, 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.

Would you than say AA a321 F over QF b747 upper deck J for JFK to LAX?

Also is there anyway to search QF J award space on this route alone without it being connected to an Australia flight? To be clear it would be flown on the same itinerary to Australia, the QF F long haul flight to SYD has already been secured.

If travelling alone probably AA F would be better plus you get flagship check-in.

You can search EF for that QF flight.

If traveling alone on SQ R is 2A the idle seat?

+1. Maybe switch to a connecting flight with a better product via MIA or DFW?

How's that compensation again?

[high end hobo]

Entitlement doesn't equal compensation.
I said you're entitled to a free refund as if you had a schedule change.

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.

SK Y: exit row seats with extra legroom could be reserved for free.
SK J: 100% identical to Y (same tight legroom, no blocked middle seat, etc.), but you get a free can of Coke.

Ergo, SK Y > J.

(Their A330 is a clear exception, with its lie-flat J.)
