737 J > 752 J?

In what lifetime?

Hey, that's how I saw it. Sometimes J isn't so bad. Unless it's Delta. The seats on the 757 seem tighter.

They have the exact same width.

How can you prefer a seat which barely reclines to one that goes lie-flat?

I don't like those type of recliners. AA looks good, but it's near impossible to find Milesaaver awards.

This conversation is getting weirder and weirder.

You don't like flat beds on planes?

I do, but the United PS is not very appealing to me.

Well, I can now say I've seen just about everything...

Someone who prefers 737 J to 757 J P.S.

(Hey, at least you'll have an easier time finding awards than most people.)

+1000

Still, I think that someone here is not following the conversation correctly. Or perhaps, someone is not sure what UA PS stands for. Otherwise I'll just have to repeat

Piece of unsolicited advice? Fly economy and forget F.

Quote from: Dan on May 14, 2015, 05:14:43 PM

So true.

Really? Just for more bang for your buck, or because you really don't feel the F product is worth it?

I've only seen a few bloggers advocate for Econ instead of J/f in general, but it's something I actually question it a lot (and so does my wife- she's always saying she'd prefer more trips in Y than fewer trips in J/F).

Curious what conclusion some of you more experienced flyers have come to...

I only fly first when there's no saver economy available.

They were both just meant that once you fly F, you can't go back.

I hear. Another major "problem" of the game. After flying even J it's hard to sit in Y, after having been to Conrad Koh Samui and PH Maldives, regular hotels don't hold a candle....

KE F LAX-ICN-HKG (Held, pending CX F availability)

SQ R SIN-NRT-LAX (Booked)

This will be my first time in F! Super excited!

So after being a complete idiot and booking the wrong dates, I've revised my itinerary and booked the following:

SQ F LAX-NRT-SIN
CX F HKG-HND
JL F NRT-LAX
