Question LX F via PEK (high YQ) or OZ C via ICN (low YQ)
Is LX F on the 340-300 worth an extra £190 over OZ C (B777)?

I have two options:
CA F, overnight in PEK, followed by LX F PEK to ZRH (then LX C ZRH - LHR).*

or

OZ C, overnight in ICN followed by OZ C ICN - LHR

YQ on OZ appears to be a mere £40, so the cost difference will be £190 GBP and half as many miles.

I'm trying LX F on the outbound, but wondering if the difference is worth the extra cost for the inbound. I've not flown F before, and I don't drink champagne...will it be worth it?

*Checking availability I can't seem to find any direct ZRH-LHR just now, so unless availability comes along, it may be moot, but still useful to know in case seats do become available when I'll need to act fast
