I have flown both to Europe and Asia on more then one occasion. First Class was just to bus with too much attention. Business Class offers enough better food over Coach, and more time to sleep or rest without interruptions. Of course, the seats are being improved in most airlines Business Classes.

Having said that, I am looking forward to using some old AA miles on CX for the annual Dec trip to BKK in the ultimate First Class offered in the sky. It is more for the flat bed/seat, then the food or booze! And a morning in the deluxe CX lounges with more civilized arrivals and departures over NW from LAX. It will be nice to arrive clean and rested in BKK, and depart BKK/HKG at a decent hour.
