The only leg of the 4 that is likely to be anything other than class leading is the potential dog on the HKG-SIN. You may say its becoming easier to predict, but i still had a nackered, 18 year old A330 swapped in at the last minute earlier this week.
I know about the 787 seat which looks great but you bring that up as the reason to do it when it may not be available (as you refer to CX) and as posted earlier this week it was a massive difference in price compared to 777.
The QR lounge is excellent except I would prefer it after a flight including 8 hours of sleep not 3.5 hours and being awakened as you get into deep sleep.
I'd put up with the Wing, Pier or Cabin for a shower and a glass of poo after a good night's sleep over a marginally better lounge in the middle of the night when all you want is sleep.
The QR 777 is fully flat I agree which is not great if you are climbing over or being climbed over....
And not to exaggerate, the 18 year old 330 had 2x2x2 cradle seats (which are very comfortable) for a 3.5 hour flight that was a day flight rather than a sleeping flight? No?
I haven't mis-predicted what I was getting in CX for about 2 years now. I don't mind as it's the price of improvement - wouldn't happen on BA give. The predictability of product
