Best first Class Airlines (Poll)
« on: September 03, 2014, 10:34:58 PM »
I will be traveling to multiple destinations in first class in the next couple of months,  of course, I prefer to choose the best first class on each destination, I will list my routes and I would appreciate your advice.

1. NYC -TLV
Elal vs BA vs LH.

( I don't mind stopovers)

2. NYC- Dubai or Abu Dhabi
Emirates vs Etihad

3. NYC- Barcelona

BA or LH?

And also, how was the kosher food?

1. LH then BA then LY and the toilet.

2. Probably Emirates.

3. Again LH.

(I am talking about the new LH F)

1. correct

2. I don't think you can ever get a straight answer on that. Definitely depends on whether he's on the 777 or the A380

3. After doing LH it's just a cool idea to try a different airline, even if it's not considered best in the world. Just for the sake of it.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

1. Thank you.

2. Correct, but aren't the EK flights from JFK to Dubai on the A380?

3. Agreed.

Actually was looking on AS earlier and it looked like it was nonstop at first glance but look closer and most of the options are via MXP on the 777.
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.

Nah, there are two daily JFK-DXB direct, always on the A380, perhaps AS points mostly uses the MXP route, which uses the 777.

So you prefer the New LH over the 747-400?

The 747-400 has one of the new LH first class configurations.

A bit off topic, does a 777 have the capacity to fly direct on a route such as JFK-DXB?

Yes,  but the 747-800 and A380 has a more updated and Newer configuration then the 747 400

I was just on LH's 747-8 in J and I thought it was just ok. Not quite as comfortable for sleeping as I would have thought, mainly due to the small foot well.

Have you ever flown on the 747-400 J?

Nope. Is it less comfortable because of angled lie flat?

That's a big Machlukes Hapuyskim. Who is ilherman to be Machrueh.   :D

I think Dan goes for the 747 and Lucky goes for the 777/A380

I think its worth trying the 747 with the separate bad before its gone.

I'd try the old 747-400 in first, but I was walking about in J. Having a separate bed sounds better than the new setup. I'd have to disagree with Ben on this one.
