I'm debating between 2 routes to get from MLE to SFO in F class.
My current route is:
MLE:AUH(9 hr layover):LAX(3 hr layover):SFO
The LAX: SFO flight is on AA metal
The other route I can take is
MLE:AUH(4 hr layover):JFK(9 hr layover):SFO
The JFK:SFO would be AA metal.
The advantage of the JFK route is I get the etihad apartments. But then I'm stuck on a a 7 hr AA first class flight that wont be as nice as Etihad. Are the apartments worth it enough to go that route or should I stick with the LAX route?
