Did i forget to add that i may have 2 lap children on one the first J tickets... Here comes the flack...

Good news is that its only about $350 per child (%10 of the published fair)

Just be glad the lap kid wasn't on EY J or F. They charge 20%!

Lax-eze gru-lax. Booked random dates, so now I need the availability. Problem is, the phones were clogged, so I had to book online to lock in the rate (procrastinator, I know). So I'm stuck with AA metal only routing options

ETA: Agent just told me I CAN change to use OW partner at old rate. hmmm

Well that's not the end of the world.

I was able to book the following x 2 for 67.5k each:
YUL-JFK (AA-Y)
JFK-LAX (AA-F)
LAX-HKG (CX-Y)
Now I hope they will open F availability on my desired date & flight for the CX LAX-HKG.

Would you consider AA's new LAX-HKG flight? Not that it has availability now. Just curious.

I was actually thinking of trying either JAL or AA on either direction instead of both directions CX-F, what do you guys think?

CX F is nicer than JL F, but I did enjoy JL F a lot. So long as you end up in F on either CX or JL you're ok.

And what do you think of the AA F?

AJK · « **Reply #2252 on:** March 25, 2016, 03:02:05 PM »

Doesn't compare to JL or CX.

And if you're flying as a couple, JL is arguably better than CX.

+1, but I'd take AA F over CX Y.

ftfy, and yes, obviously.

I'd take AA's more premium cabin over any inferior CX cabin, e.g. AA F > CX J, AA J > CX Y.

Is it worth the stop in NRT?

I'd say it depends on if CX F opens. If JL is open now, then it's totally worth the stop.

AJK · « **Reply #2258 on:** March 25, 2016, 03:09:45 PM »

If your destination is HKG, I'd fly CX, provided there is no attractiveness to trying out JL lishma, and you're otherwise flying CX F in the future.

If you're not flying CX in the future, I'd stick to one less stop and an arguably better product.

My question was: let's say both CX & JL have F open, if flying as a couple, is it worth the stop?

Yes my destination is HKG, Should I do one way CX & the return JL or VS VS? I would like to try another F product.
