Emphasis added.

You do realize that AA isn't remotely close to 100% lie-flat across the fleet, right (a considerable number of slanty-seat J)? And a fair amount of those are 763s with a considerably inferior product (tablet IFE), or 772s with quirky lie-flats?

Wow. This should embarrass Cathay.

Are you traveling out of Europe? I don't think the QR A350 is serving the US. As long as you don't mind stepping over someone (or being stepped over) on the two window seats, the QR J soft product is great. The hard product is definitely behind SQ out of the USA.
