My only bad meal with JL is this one time 736 exHKG morning flight, the main was borderline edible.

The only flight I want to take with CX exHKG is 548 to HND, much prefer HND than NRT if staying in Tokyo and the guarantee long haul product, but the breakfast food is pretty boring as usual.

JL offer consistent product after the 767 is gone from HKG (the J seat was very tight in width). Now both flights with long haul product, 788 with lie flat and 772 with reverse herringbone (it is indeed tighter than CX cirrus). Both are very adequate for a 4 hour flight.

CX provide better recognition to DM and OWE, but JL in general is attentive and professional to everyone.
