Which airline has the best First Class NY to MNL
« on: January 05, 2017, 12:36:38 PM »
Traveling from NY to MNL first class, I have options with JAL, ANA, Korean Air, Asiana, Cathay Pacific and Philippine Air. What are the pros and cons of each? I was on CX (Cathay) last time and was not impressed.

CX service has nothing on JL/NH/SQ service.

That's not really fair; the type of service is different.  Your post implies that CX service is inferior.

The only airlines that have the F the whole way are CX and KE.

So, I'd probably go KE, though I prefer OZ head to head.

Sorry guys, my company is sending me, I'm not a big travel guy, I don't understand what you are saying. Can you explain these terms to a layman.

If I want hands-off service with a comfy bed I can stay home ;)

CX hard product is awesome. So are the lounges and KSMLs there.
I'm just not a fan of hands-off service and rigid BYOK rules.

The KMSL's in HKG lounges are special?

They're Hermolis. That's about as good as it gets for airline food, especially in a lounge.

I cant speak for all the airlines that Dan mentioned but if its CX Vs KE I wouldn't even think twice and jump with KE. Their service is soo much better that makes up for the slightly inferior hard product of CX.

From HKG I arrange the hermolis Lamb Stir Fry every time.
Fatty but really good.

But better on board the second time when paired with Glenmorangie Signet.
