Hi, -- I'm trying to decide between 841 (1010-1405+1) and 831 (1455-1855+1) for a mid-August departure using AA miles and an all partner award. Considerations as I see them are:

841: Leaves at a nice time in the morning, but arrives HKG at 2:00 a.m. body clock time based on local time at departure. The onward connection to BKK is good, though, 1:45 connecting time, just about right, IMO. Arrive BKK 1730 BKK time.

Does anyone know if they serve breakfast (i.e., eggs) on this flight? Somehow a large meal starting with Krug and caviar doesn't seem appropriate to me for that time of day, and won't likely work for my stomach.

831: Leaves mid-afternoon, arrives around 7:00 a.m. body clock time based on local time at departure. Much better for managing jet lag, IMO. Onward connection to BKK not quite as good, though, 3:15 connecting time. Arrive BKK 2355 BKK time.

First meal is time appropriate, but then I'll sleep, and the second meal isn't going to be breakfast, is it?

I'd be grateful for input from others who have taken the nonstops from JFK-HKG. Jetlag can be debilitating for me, and if I can manage it properly, I effectively add two days to my stay.

Thanks in advance.
