Hi FT!

This is my first post here. I've been a long time reader and really enjoy FT.
What prompts my first post is that I'm in the position to take a trip to HKG in November and have a fixed budget for the flight that allows me to either book J round trip from LAX or book Y on the outbound leg and return in CX F routed either direct to LAX or through ORD to LAX.

I've heard wonderful things about CX F and have never had the opportunity to fly it yet. I've also never been in CX J. I've flown AA F TATL and TPAC in the past and like many on here was not super impressed so I'm not sure it would be worth it. I have flown to HKG on CX in Y before so I know I can definitely manage just fine in Y. I'm very interested in your opinions on CX J vs F.

My question to all of you is whether you thought CX F was worth foregoing J on the outbound? Your opinions are much appreciated.

Thanks!
