One other consideration is your citizenship + point of origin; perhaps you want to minimize the number of customs/immigration checkpoints on your trip.
As it is, I have multiple checkpoints from my point of origin in *deep* Texas. I'm going to be on holiday, and I figured that a few days's stay in YVR to make up for that added checkpoint should be good enough.
I've used the QANTAS lounge at LAX quite a number of times. Though the ambience is good, the food is just so so.
It's getting tiring flying CX and especially frustrating queueing up for upgrade, even with OWS.
Back on main topic:
I'm debating taking either seat 2, 3 or 7A. I like taking photos of the engine inflight, but I'm not sure which one will have less noise.
I'd like to take a photo just like this one:
