If trying out new products is meaningful and attractive to you (as it is to me, but apparently not Dan or others) than absolutely. Fly one way JL and the other CX.

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.
If CX is open then CX F > JL F even as a couple, but I'd say that's more true on a flight that's mainly a night flight. If you have a westbound daytime flight JL is more conducive to talking. However if your option is to try both just do that.

Yupps. Although not F service, as they don't sell F on that route. But seat 1D and 1G on the A333!

Yes the ticket says I class. But it's an F seat! (I would actually rather it this way, having the whole F cabin to myself with J service)
