I thought that OZ was keeping first on their new 777s. Am I wrong?
The new NH Square seats are really the old NH seats with wood around them. VERY VERY VERY comfortable, though! Easy to fall asleep in these, and plenty of room.
I would, too (full disclosure: I've never flown OZ and based on my great experiences with NH, will take them over OZ due to my experience and admitted bias).
Your summary of NH was 100% right on, littlevoices; it sort of made me feel I was in NH first!!

Apparently as far as seats are, nothing on their 777s.. Only on the 744.
I can always do OZ on another RTW I guess! Once SQ's 744 is out..

Nh f+ua f or oz f+tg j
I have a similar question. I can see an award seat avalilable on NH F LAX-NRT connecting on UA F within Asia or I could fly OZ F LAX-ICN connecting on TG J.
I really don't want to fly UA even though it's UA F however I want to try NH F.
I haven't flown OZ F either which connects to TG J.
Really confused.
What option would you take?

How are the UA FA's in F on intra-asia routes, are they US based crew?

You can find lots of information on this board. I recommend a search.
In my opinion the overall experience is similar. I would base my decision on where i actually want to go, connection time, equipment on the connecting flight etc.

I believe both are excellent and would not hesitate to take either. Having said that, I consider NH slightly better in every respect, so everything else being equal (destination, connections, timing, etc.), I would definitely choose NH.
In fact, I have an OZ F reservation for an upcoming award trip. As connections for this trip are comparable, if a NH F seat opens up between now and then, I will change to NH.

This should just have been found with a simple search, same route, same carriers, comprehensively answered;

The only problem is you lose the advantage of the home carriers lounge, but since neither is hugely impressive (and they probably share the same lounge in JFK) its a non-issue.

OZ has better amenity kit (bvlgari), what NH has ?
OZ has PJ you keep, can you do that on NH ?
OZ has thank you gift end of flight, what does NH give you ?
It is all about if one likes Korean or Japanese food better. However, I do give an edge on NH's mid-flight snack selection.

For a flight experience, I stick with NH in all important respects -- better seat, better service, better food, better entertainment, better overall atmosphere.
Unless, I suspect, one is Korean.
But as I said, I find both products to be excellent and would not hesitate for a moment to fly either. The differences are small. Unless you want souvenirs -- then it's OZ all the way!
