That's not to say that EY J isn't good -- it's pretty nice.

But EY F is probably the nicest experience on a plane and in a lounge I've ever had.

I have yet to fly SQ Suites or EK Suites though.

EY F is one of the few things I don't regret paying for after flying ~24 hours.
BTW I never said there was a HUGE difference betweeen J & F just that "F is quite a step up" - and it is. In contrast I have Flown SQ Suites a few times & I still prefer that - I found the service impeccable - something I fear EY will never quite achieve.

I found the EY J lounge quite average. Crowded, poor food choices & with somewhat poor seating arrangements too. I certainly believe all of theses issues would be alleviated in the F lounge..
