Only 6 first class seats on Cathay as opposed to 14 on Qantas.
It's a world of difference.
Even better when you have the entire 4 side or 2 side to yourself :)

99% of people say CX F seat and bed is better. Really in a league of its own as far as comfort.
Doesn't have fawning FAs, showers, doors, BYOK, etc.
But in the end of the day it's about the seat and bed comfort IMHO. Great PJs round out the product.

F is about the seat and bed? Those are my requirements for business.

To me, F is all about fawning FAs, showers, doors, BYOK, Porsches, massages, cubans, Livit 25, and buggies through airport terminals.

And, to be clear, I'm not saying, nor have I ever said, QF's F round experience is better than CX. I'm simply of the opinion that their bedding is heavenly.

Now I'm supposed to keep track of which planes you've flown on?

You gonna make me dig up the previous conversations on this topic, specifically mentioning this exact issue?

That's because of your Trump sizes feet and hands.
I'll take a big wide seat/bed with cozy bedding and a nice pillow and blanket any day.
And I'll splurge for that to arrive at the destination and back home feeling like a human being and ready to hit the road.

To me, F is all about fawning FAs, showers, doors, BYOK, Porsches, massages, cubans, Livit 25, and buggies through airport terminals.

When the bed is too narrow, the seat doesn't recline, or whatnot all of that goes out the window.

Those things are all great, but it's secondary. I can get all of that at home. I can't arrive in Asia refreshed by staying at home, but I know when I fly CX I'll have had an amazing sleep.

I found the NH bed to be superior to KE.

What first class are you describing exactly where the bed is too narrow and the seat doesn't recline?

EY F A380 seat does not recline much but - as can be seen and read in my TR - gave me no issues at all and still was a very comfortable seat where I could easily put up my feet and lie down whenever I wanted.
