3) Pyjamas
4) Food comes separately plated in F, in J they come in a tray
5) When departing from HK, the CX F lounges have an edge such as private cabanas and ordering from a menu for meals. Not much difference between F and J lounges outside HK.
Either way, both are amongst the best in the industry for their respective classes so you'll still enjoy the journey!
I flew TPAC J more than 5 times a year, but I have never been served meal that come in a tray
I was lucky enough to have been upgraded to F for the 3 legs out of my 4 legs flight in August. I would say that if you get the old F, then hardware wise it is not as NEW as the new J, but bigger in everything. However, if you do get the refurbished F, then it's comparable.
The difference, for me, is mainly the space and the attentiveness of the FAs, and the fact that they would go out of their way to make you feel good and comfortable, even with the ground arrangement if you are transferring.
If I have the miles to burn, then I for sure will go for F instead of J without a blink of an eye
