SFO to jfk / nyc - how do VX F and B6 F compare?
Hi all,
Whimsical trip for SFO/nyc - probably a red eye to save time and cost.
How does F compare between Vx and b6 for this routing?
I only fly VX F between SFO/ord and HA F for SFO/OGG.
I last went to nyc in 2010 (Ua F) but I've ended Ua flying.
Thank you!
Michael

VX F is a recliner. B6 (Mint) is a full lie flat.
The equation is price. For a day time flight, I'd not shy away from VX. If Mint is anywhere near VX F, go for Mint.

I think (from google flights) that b6 F (I assume mint business) is cheaper than VX F. I haven't checked actual airline sites to compare. I've never flown b6!

Thanks everyone. I've given up on the trip - the hassle and $$ is a certainty but I can't imagine the trip being worth it. I miss the old days of $379 & miles on ual ps, row 9! Even MCS and b6 extra space are both closer to $700. I'm not flying to EWR.
