How did you find the LX 77W J?
Did it have FREE wi-fi for J paxs?
I took that exact LX138, in Y, 2 months ago. 3-4-3 layout but it wasn't THAT bad, but the J sure looked cramped (
as others mentioned), and that's why I chose TK J instead of LX J for my 2017 mRTW (I've tried TK 77W J in 2015 and LX A330J in 2011)... plus TK has IST lounge and the food
I was really tired so didn't feel like leaving the airport (or even the lounge) in ZRH.
I though LX J on the 77W was fantastic. I know this is a controversial opinion, but I disagree with those who find it too cramped; not if you can secure a single seat. In that case, I would rate it a better hard product than AC's current J seat. And LX's food and service are definitely superior to AC's. Didn't try the wifi but don't believe it's free. Does any airline offer free wifi in J?
I've only flown TK in PY (YYZ-IST) so can't make a direct comparison, but TBH my general view of TK is "I don't know what all the hype is about." The food was decent for PY, but certainly nothing to write home about. And I would take LX's new ZRH lounge over TK's lounge at IST any day of the week. The Senator Lounge is much classier, more modern, less crowded, and has the outdoor terrace. Yes, the TK lounge is enormous and has a ton of food, but the overall atmosphere is much less enjoyable IMO. Also, TK's customer service was terrible when I experienced an issue that required reaching them by phone. YMMV.
