Now this is one thread to subscribe to ^ Any other carriers for those of us who can't do a whole RTW on NZ?

Where do SA stand? Specifically, their A340's.

Which is better, OZ or NH and on what plane types?

Is the new LX J worth going out of one's way to experience?

Just to give you some perspective, I'm a recent convert to *A so the only J products I've flown so far are SQ (both the new J on 77W and A380 and the old one on a 772) and TK (A320, A330 and A340). All in all, I found the new SQ J seat fantastic and the service very attentive. TK's food was much better, though, but the new J seat is still a slippery slope and it's really awkward to get to and from the window seat if there's someone in the aisle seat. The cabin crew were enthusiastic if a bit clumsy. So where are the other *A carriers wrt these products? Inquiring minds want to know...
