330-300 or 777-300 on business class?
Hello. I'm trying to decide if I should revise our return flight from Paris into the Philippines. We're currently flying into Clark airport in an A330-300 but may change it to Manila in a B777-300 both on business. Any difference between the two planes? There's a substantial price difference (Manila more expensive) so it should be substantial for us to decide. thanks.

Assuming you get an unrenovated A333 on CRK, there is a substantial difference in the seat comfort because the unrenovated A333 seat is angled lie-flat whereas the 77W is fully flat. If you find it difficult to sleep on angled lie-flat seats, and you wish to sleep on that flight, that will be something to bear in mind.
But if choice between connecting in a not-so-nice airport to a domestic flight or non-stop directly to CRK, I would probably choose the non-stop to CRK, especially if it is cheaper as well.

I guess I mis-read the big A330 renovation thread...
Lie-flats can be reasonably comfortable on a day flight or where you just need some shut-eye, but for me personally, they have never been close to a fully flat for sleep comfort on flights where I want to sleep as much as possible.

Return to CRK is morning so if you're travelling to Manila, you will face a rush hour tail end.
