However it's the old F on 340, well past its 'sell by date' & LX are cutting costs like LH & only 1 lav when it's 8/8 is not nice for F
QR have excellent F fares out of CDG, latest product, really First class ^

As already posted in many threads here, the old F on A340 is really comfy for sitting and sleeping, although it is not the latest bling-bling like on other airlines.
LX First Class service has always been top and food excellent (at least on my LX F flights).
For me 1 lav has never been a problem, even when 8/8.

I agree: CX F is superior over LH and LX in basically all aspects (other than the FCL/FCT for LH).
I personally don't like the old 340 F seats on Swiss. These seats belong into the last century. Also food in LX has deteriorated somewhat over the last few years. And only one lav for 8 passengers + the crew is just not enough, especially when people want to change in the morning.
But if you compare LX F to BA, UA or AA F it is still superior.
At a similar price (and similary flying time/connections) I would pick CX over LX in a heartbeat but LX is also acceptable if they are significantly cheaper.
The ME3 also have reasonably good products and often very good prices in F, but I try to avoid them on night flights. I rather have around 8 uninterrupted hours to sleep.

As everybody is trying to entice the OP to go for CX F, i say it won't be feasable as he's going ZRH-BKK......
To OP: what do you value?
Lounge, better/more food, more luggage allowance - choose F
A good night's sleep - then choose C which is quite sufficient
