Which option better in terms of seats, AVOD, food, service etc?
I think AC offers a very competitive product on TATL routes, but when comparing AC with NZ I tend to argue NZ is slightly better (IŽd even argue NZ has the best C/J product within *A):
seat: very similar to the AC pod, less comfortable for lounging IMO as recline is limited, but more comfortable for sleeping
AVOD: no big difference IMO (NZ possibly slightly better)
food/drinks: decent on AC, excellent on NZ
service: NZ tends to be a notch better than AC IME
AC offers a pretty good product overall IMO, but I wouldnŽt hesitate to choose NZ over AC anytime.
