How does this compare to their First class A380 ?

I'm assuming I shouldn't drop EK F for this, correct ?

Drop EK F for QR J?

Would you drop a $100 bill for a $20?

Depends on how often you can go on EK F going forward considering the AA deval. I'd say if you can do EK F within 2016, do QR now because itll be much pricier soon. Otherwise, do EK F.

QR J is going up from 67.5 to 70...  Not a big deal.

That's the problem I'm grappling with. I've got a load of AA miles, which I want to use for my summer Thailand trip, before the deval. but the problem is I can't find any F space whatsoever. And for J, I only found CX, and now this.

Just noticed that for J. Not bad at all.

And JFK-DOH-JNB/CPT stays the same at 75k.

Don't give up EK F so fast.

Give it up for EY F in the A380 though, IMO.

Qe haven't flown in any first class yet, only business class, so either way is an experience for us. It's just about getting best value out of my AA miles now.

Look at routes that will be going up significantly.
