On CX:
Meals - vintage champagne, caviar and some of the best food I have had in the air, both Chinese and Western. you can pick and choose from courses, and breakfast is cooked to order. All when you want it.
Service - is generally unobtrusive but excellent, with a high staff-to-passenger ratio.
Seat - is both airy and private, has its own wardrobe where you can stow your coat and bag. When expanded into a bed, it's very wide at the head, but narrower further down. Nice duvet and Shanghai Tang travelling pyjamas. "Exclusive feel" environment if on a 747 as you're in the nose.
