It adds more flying time but I believe the seats on Cathay go totally flat in business-

worth it?
Pick CX if your preferences are like this:
- Do you want a true flat bed - yes
- Do you want superb AVOD entertainment - yes
- Do you mind having a wall between you - no
- Do you mind the extra travel time - no

Personally, I rate AA's biz class seats at the bottom of the angled lie flat range. I don't mind the angled lie flats on QF, OZ, AC and AY, "will do if there is no better alternative" on SQ, MH, IB and LH, and will consider a detour to avoid AF and AA as these are the most cramped of the seats.
