Correct. Regular 747 would be angled. 747-8 would be flat
So regular 747 always angle?

You can trust whoever you'd like  :)

(Though, the first couple of 744s are currently in the shop for upgrade.)

Both cannot be true.

As of this time, all 744s are currently angle.

All 744s are slated for upgrade.

No 744s are currently operating with new J.

That will change beginning in several weeks, but not on your route.

Agreed. 

How about LH lie flat on 747-8, how does it compare to Austrian and LOT

i apologize if this has been mentioned before but from my research in trying to book a CX F from NYC to JNB via HKG i noticed no bookable first class is it because they fly only 3 class planes (economy economy plus and business) or is it just not available?

Thanks,

I did, I really enjoyed it.

Friendly FAs, they welcomed me nicely, offferd to take my jacket for hanging, took care of my carry-ons, made my bed etc.
Can't really complain on the seat, was satisfactory comfortable.

Not sure why it's pouplar here to say UA has a bad F product.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Duh, no PJs.

In all seriousness, FAs on all US airlines are like a box of chocolates. Ya just never know what you're going to get.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I'm not that PJ-track-minded since I don't use them. They're never my size, so I feel like wearing a big garbage bag.

Maybe, but I can only share my experience and I really can't complain.

Thanks for the feedback - I will give a report once we get back!

I would have loved to fly on SQ, LH but so far there is nothing on Nov 11 out of Europe at all!
