My TA came up with an extremely good Business Fare from Asia to the US with 2 side trips to South Africa. So i deceided to try Business Class on some airlines.
Even the better Business seats (like on South African) convinced me to go back to F. The only exception was SIA. Their new Business Class on the 380 and the 777 (tried both) is in some important aspects even better than First Class on some airlines.
Firstly congrats to your 1000th post!

Secondly I don't find some C products all that bad. I really like to fly BA in J even though I have to connect in LHR which could be a reason to stop flying them. The seat is a bit narrow but still I can sleep in it pretty well.
