Yee-ha!
EK does have the best overall F product. SQ is still better in the air, but if you consider the whole package - ground service, lounge, aircraft HW and so on - EK is the clear winner.
So it's good to hear that this QF alliance won't break the product that I don't mind paying for.
And about F lounge being already full - I never said that it's already too crowded. But at times it's very dangerously close to it, for my tastes. In F it's NOT about being able to find a place to sit - it's about finding a place to sit with enough privacy and space.
Do I really want to share seating space with sweaty Y pax coming off 12+ flight from MEL when I paid F prices ?
Currently F on EK is my first choice - and will continue to be so as long as EK can keep the product intact and enjoyable to fly.
