For me this is a really tough call. The transpac F experience on Asian carriers is really nice, even if you have done it many times before. However, as we all know, long flights with transits can be exhausting, no matter how you do it and so shorter times can make a big difference.
I still don't know...

Well, if your Cathay route is frequently overbooked then the chance of you getting upgraded is very high for DM, however, if you're already booking J then the chance of J to F is not that high, although it does happen if J is full as well so they need to push J to F to make room for Y to J.
