Trying out CX F next month so I'll see how they compare.
As I mentioned upthread, I snagged F r/t award seats on QF A380. I depart 1/25 PDX-LAX-SYD, return 2/8 MEL-LAX-PDX. There was a December stretch where no award seats were available, but for flights beginning in around mid-January F seats began to pop up with some regularity...mostly on 747, but a few on the A380.
Mikelat, I'm excited to see how the QF A380 in F (I've got 2A both ways) stacks up against CX F, which I'm sure you will love. The latter is my favorite F experience of all time. 36" wide lie-flats from head to toe--just a few inches narrower than a twin bed--in a private pod kind of set up. Great sleep. Roomy 747 cabin. Doting staff. A complete delight. Haven't flown R on SIN yet, but no award seats for that
