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.)

Meh. Clearly, no one is referring to fake J.

What I remember from flying SK narrow-bodies is that while the middle seat isn't blocked like it is on BA/LH, they don't sell the middle seat in their so called J cabin

Most middle seats seats were full on the six flights I flew on them.

United GVA - EWR on 767-300 F, is it worth the 23,000 miles more than J?

Is a massage worth $100?

The business on that flight can be nasty if you are sitting facing forward

I'd say their launch is similar to the launches of other 787s that fly the route. Quieter than the launches of A330s and 777s, and about on par with the A350s.

Yes, it's safe. And the lounge is decent and spacious.

I'd say their launch is similar to the launches of other 787s that fly the route. Quieter than the launches of A330s and 777s, and about on par with the A350s.

No. You need to qualify normally and even then it's not a sure bet. It is a security issue.

You gotta classify the aircraft type.
QR still has angled flat seats on their A330s
Most A330 have been retrofitted already.  All A340 have been retrofitted.  Hard to find flights longer than 3 hours in QR without lie flat J.
